Reform UK's Tice Joins Lincolnshire Protest Against 3,000-Acre Tillbridge Solar Plan

He announced a pledge to cancel new AR7 renewables contracts, warning investors to steer clear of solar and wind.

Overview

  • The demonstration in Gainsborough was organised by Reform UK and drew local residents opposing the proposed solar farm.
  • Richard Tice called the plan a disgrace and attacked Labour energy policy and Secretary of State Ed Miliband over rising bills.
  • He said a Reform government would rip up AR7 contracts for future wind, solar and battery storage projects.
  • Tice urged investors to put money into gas and nuclear, claiming those who back solar and wind risk losing their money.
