Thanks to Jim Draper alerting me to this.

From the Canary factchecker today:

The nuclear industry will become “more dangerous” and regulation of the sector has been captured by “vested interests,” campaigners and experts have told the Canary, after the Nuclear Regulation Bill was put forward in the 2026 King’s Speech.

From CND:

When you think of nuclear accidents like at Windscale in 1957, Chernobyl in 1986, or Fukushima in 2011, it’s easy to see that Britain’s current nuclear regulatory procedures and rules are in place for a simple reason – that nuclear power is inherently dangerous.

Rather than acknowledge these risks or legacy issues – like tackling the toxic waste generated by nuclear power – the government’s plan to cut regulations essentially means this industry will be more dangerous.

This is disturbingly similar to what Donald Trump did earlier this year when he gutted the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

and from the SNP’s Alex Kerr:

Under Keir Starmer’s watch, energy bills have spiralled out of control, 1,000 jobs are being lost every month in the North Sea and Scotland’s only refinery at Grangemouth has closed – the Labour party has zero credibility when it comes to energy.

Now Labour is ripping up regulations to pursue its dangerous obsession with nuclear power.

Scotland has an abundance of clean energy sources – we don’t need new nuclear power stations, which are ludicrously expensive, take years to build, and leave us with dangerous waste.

Grok – Has any member of Scottish Labour commented on the Nuclear Regulation Bill announced in the King’s Speech today?

No, there are no public comments from Scottish Labour members (such as leader Anas Sarwar or MSPs/MPs) specifically on the Nuclear Regulation Bill from the King’s Speech on 13 May 2026 that I could find in news reports or recent social media.

Has any Scottish politician other than from the SNP commented on the Nuclear Regulation Bill announced in the King’s Speech today?

No prominent specific comments from non-SNP Scottish politicians on the Nuclear Regulation Bill itself appear in immediate coverage (as of May 14, 2026).
