It's time to publish the unredacted report from the Russia Political Interference inquiry. And then resurrect and widen it to include Russian political interference in the Brexit process.

Not just UKIP, Leave, Brexit Party, Reform but Johnson, Gove as well.

3 Rolls Royce SMR Nuclear to be built in Anglesey. No mention of when they might come on stream. Or of the cost.
