Boris Johnson said his government has not “shirked the big decisions” as he announced state backing for a new nuclear reactor at Sizewell in Suffolk.
Days from standing down from office, he said government had tried to “put in the things this country will need for the long-term” as he called for “no more national myopia, not more short-termism”.
He ended his speech calling the UK to “go nuclear, go large and go with Sizewell C.”
