Rachel Reeves ’deleted’ onshore windfarm ban, Sir Keir Starmer jokes with mayors

Sir Keir #Starmer joked that Rachel Reeves pressed “delete” on the onshore wind ban in one of her first acts as Chancellor as he met England’s metro mayors in Downing Street. The Prime Minister laughed as he discussed the pace at which Labour has set about tearing up Britain’s planning laws, including the “absurd” moratorium on new onshore farms introduced by the Tories.

There’s the inhibition, gone.” #politics #news Read more:
