Although on the seizing means of production note...Great British Energy
This sounds like an Ed Miliband authored policy, so you can bet the Blairites won't be happy either. Although one suspects they won't be happy until they've destroyed every last vestige of the party.

I think in some ways this just shows how inward looking and archaic UK politics has become. This sort of targeted state ownership isn't the super left thing it once was...its a serious policy to solve problems, nurture growth and generate wealth. Its the sort of thing that left and right wing governments are doing all over Europe. It feels like UK politics has been so up its own arse it never really left the 1970s.

Although on the seizing means of production note...Great British Energy
Most of the conservative governments in Europe have made efforts to nationalise growth in renewables...always felt a bit mental that the UK conservatives weren't interested in it. It makes perfect sense in terms of long term energy security.
