T.S.B. Celebrating Britain's true heroes.

This is Hugo Rifkind. Before we get on with the podcast, this episode of Politics Unpacks is sponsored by SSE, championing clean energy across the UK and Ireland.

With the race on for green growth, net zero and energy security, it's time to turbocharge investment.

SSE is already investing over £20 billion in mission-critical energy infrastructure, supporting the transition to net zero.
