UK CAN BE 'SAUDI ARABIA OF WIND POWER'

Boris Johnson is pledging the UK will produce enough electricity from wind to power every home in the UK by 2030.

The Prime Minister says the UK can become the 'Saudi Arabia of wind power', and is promising £160m in funding for ports and factories that build turbines.

Opposition Labour say his speech should be focusing more on improving the government's response to covid-19.

But Chancellor Rishi Sunak says wind power is a major opportunity.
