For all who know & love the area, this shows the Round House on the country lane that runs down to Eastbridge, with land cleared to make way for a roundabout on the B1122- part of #Labour's taxpayer funded annihilation of East Suffolk's environment for the Sizewell C white 🐘 #SayNo2SizewellC

"As the UK govt scrabble around for the likely £40bn for the Sizewell C development, it’s hardly a good advert to potential investors that we now have EDF, the original promoter, hoping to reduce their exposure to as low as 10%” #SayNo2SizewellC www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/edf-a...

When £2.8bn p.a. is not enough to deal with our legacy spent #nuclear waste & Sellafield will take over 100yrs, if ever, to clean up, the govt's new nuclear programme- HPC, Sizewell C & SMRs- is an intolerable burden for future generations #SayNo2SizewellC www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Driver delays as "17 abnormal loads scheduled to travel through Suffolk roads."- 16 of these loads are for Sizewell C, despite there being no final investment decision for the project. All funded by the UK taxpayer- utter madness! #SayNo2SizewellC www.eadt.co.uk/news/2495687...

12yrs ago @centricaplc pulled out of its intended 20% stake in Sizewell C & Hinkley C saying it wants "nothing to do with any new nuclear in UK". The HPC fiasco shows this was a wise decision for shareholders & one they should stick to #SayNo2SizewellC www.youtube.com/watch?v=em42...

Basically, private investors are looking at the economics of EDF’s reactors and thinking they’re bad Which begs the question why UK govt thinks they’re such a great investment for the country Big nukes are being steadily outflanked by new & clean technology #SizewellC www.ft.com/content/c546...

No surprise Sizewell C causes rents for family homes to double "to more than £3,000/month" The project is clearly too big for the area- one of many reasons the DCO should have been refused This is with only 1,000 workers on site- HPC site now has 15,000! Boom & bust! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But Ed, you conveniently ignore the fact that #nuclear can never be 'clean, homegrown or provide energy security'- the UK will always be reliant on overseas uranium for fuel, in the grip of a market dominated by Russia & China, competing against 'friendly' nations who have greater purchasing power!

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social - if your government wants to save money, both in the short & long term, this would be an easy win. And it would start rebuilding your green creds too, that you desperately need if you're going to beat RefUK.
