Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak's nuclear fallout sparks fresh delays to UK energy security strategy. The Prime Minister is pushing for six to seven new large nuclear power stations, but the Chancellor is concerned about the massive cost. The proposals are being strongly resisted by the Treasury, with the Chancellor concerned that the vast investment in nuclear would not provide the taxpayer with value for money.
It has meant that the energy package has been kicked further down the road, despite Mr Johnson having previously pledged to publish the proposals at the start of the month. The plans are also expected to include ways to produce more energy from renewables, and increase North Sea oil and gas production. The Prime Minister's spokesman denied that they were being delayed because of a disagreement, instead stating that it was "important we get these things right".
