The already bloated DESNZ has just been handed an astonishing real terms increase of 15.6% in its budget for the next five years in Rachel Reeves’ latest Spending Review:
Even excluding Sizewell C, they are being given £45.1 billion to spaff away between now and 2028/29. This equates to £1670 for every home in the country.
The whole of DESNZ could be shut down tomorrow, and nobody would notice. Its routine administrative functions could easily be handled within the Department of Business and Trade, with no increase in staff there.
This gross waste of taxpayer money is rapidly becoming a national scandal.
