Episode 10 - Tom Greatrex and Nuclear in the UK

So, here's something different for the New Year. Just me and a guest talking about politics and that. In this case it's Tom Greatrex, well respected Labour MP until he lost his seat at the last election. Now he's bringing his experience as a shadow energy minister to bear as chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association. So we talk about nuclear power stations and whether they are going to blow up, hippies, the Chinese, and being sick at a fishmarket. Also he uses the phrase 'do a lot of wind' and I don't snigger. Enjoy.
