Rishi Sunak has claimed his party has overseen a 'renaissance' in the nuclear industry - just hours after one of his ministers suggested plans for the sector should have been laid out 'years ago'. The prime minister said the Conservatives supported nuclear power and the UK's nuclear deterrent as he visited the home of the UK's nuclear submarine fleet, Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria.
' Mr Sunak, whose party has been in power since 2010, accused Labour of having a 'basically equivocal relationship' with nuclear power and said the party failed to invest before 2010, when his party came to power.
