Nuclear Power: Fingleton Review March
Join us to show government that people actually want Nuclear Power.
We are calling on the British Government to accept all recommendations from their own review - the Fingleton Review.
Showing up is a way to show that people do actually care. They care enough to go out on a cold December evening to demand decisive action.
Bonus points if you wear a green hi-vis jacket, and any other prop you think will make the point (in a fun way).

Every time you put the heating on, you’re paying for Britain’s broken energy system. We were the first country to build nuclear power, but now it takes decades and costs more here than anywhere else. So we buy power from abroad — and every family pays for it in higher bills.
Cheap energy is the foundation of prosperity. The UK pays four times more for energy than the USA. That’s why our economy has flatlined while theirs grows.
The government just spent £1 billion subsidising energy bills for millionaires because we failed to build cheap energy. This is backwards. We need to stop subsidising demand and start fixing supply.
The Nuclear Regulatory Review just declared Britain’s nuclear regulator “broken” and showed how to fix it: merge eight fragmented bodies into one, have the Government set risk standards instead of risk-averse regulators, use a fleet approach to approve designs once and roll them out nationwide, and stop legal delays by eliminating duplicative processes.
Rachel Reeves can make this happen. Treasury approval and fiscal rules determine whether nuclear gets built, and the Chancellor can put pressure on the Prime Minister. Even better for Labour, they can claim a win before 2029: streamlined approvals mean small modular reactors can break ground and create jobs within this Parliament.
This unlocks everything. Cheap power means competitive energy for business, AI data centres, and real growth. It means there will be no need for winter fuel payouts. Labour must accept all the recommendations of the report.
Stop subsidising failure. Let Britain build. Nuclear power is how we cut bills for good.
