Blair goes nuclear
Labour MPs appalled as PM pre-empts energy review
Nuclear Power ‘back on the agenda with a vengeance’
John McDonnell MP, Chair of the LRC, said:
“Labour MPs and party members will be shocked that the Prime Minister has
decided to pre-empt the energy review and try to bounce the Government into a decision on behalf
of the nuclear industry like this.
“This announcement, made not to Parliament or the PLP but at a dinner of
New Labour's friends in the City, flies in the face of all consultation and all democratic
procedures and completely ignores the widespread opposition within the party. It is an act
of desperation of a leader who knows his time is running out.”
