Burning Priorities

As might be expected given the past fourteen months of Change™, Team Starmer has confirmed that it will continue the Conservative policy of throwing money at a renewable energy supplier whether or not the energy it supplies is actually renewable. Aptly named after the villain in one of the sillier James Bond films, Drax has already been fined twenty-five million for pushing inaccurate data; so now that a further investigation has begun, His Majesty's Government is naturally concerned to compensate the company for its falling share price by allowing it to fleece the taxpayer for as much as seems convenient. A spokesbeing proclaimed that Drax will need to behave more sustainably in future, although it remains as yet unclear what sanctions and penalties will be imposed should it decide that on the whole it would really rather not. After all, Team Starmer didn't get where it is today by worrying about whether private corporations tell the truth.
