The SNP has lost its way, is incompetent in government, and is bad with your money. My response to the finance statement today.

The Prime Minister’s statement on Grenfell was sobering to listen to just now - and as he said, in the face of a tragedy like this words begin to lose their meaning. But this statement - about a profound shift not just in regulation but in culture is so important.

Community energy empowers communities in every way, securing our energy supply while building a just transition. That's why it's at the heart of this Government's plans. x.com/mgshanks/statu…

There are days in politics that you are particularly proud of. Today is one of those, because we are debating the Great British Energy Bill in Parliament. This Government won a mandate for the first publicly-owned national energy company in 75 years. It will be owned by you

Great British Energy will create jobs, boost energy independence, and ensure UK taxpayers, billpayers and communities reap the rewards of clean, secure, homegrown energy. My statement during Parliament earlier today 👇

Great to join this conference and share our clean power by 2030 mission and the importance of collaboration across business, industry and government. It’s an ambitious mission, but absolutely achievable if we work together to deliver it.
