Join Politics UK for an evening of discussion with the the Minister of State for Energy, Michael Shanks MP

Organised by Politics UK, this exclusive Westminster event brings together Labour parliamentarians, councillors, elected representatives, members, and invited thought leaders for a live “In Conversation” with Michael Shanks MP, Minister of State for Energy.

As the Government brings forward its Energy Independence Bill, this event will provide a focused forum for in-depth discussion on the future of the UK’s energy system and the long-term reforms needed to strengthen national security, protect living standards and build greater economic resilience.

The discussion will explore how the UK can scale up homegrown renewable energy, accelerate investment in clean power, strengthen infrastructure, improve affordability and reduce exposure to international instability and hostile actors.

Moving beyond soundbites and set-piece speeches, the conversation format will enable serious, reflective engagement on the Labour Party’s priorities, strategy and vision for delivering a more secure, affordable and sustainable energy future, with energy independence at the heart of the UK’s national security and economic agenda.
