UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.
That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Why is that UK govts only listen to the rich who resent paying tax and decent wages?
The rich can't feel secure whilst masses live in poverty. Poor people can't buy goods/services to boost the economy.
