NATIONALISING Britain’s energy network could slash bills, cut inflation and pay for itself within just a few years, eye-opening research published today by the Unite union reveals.

She hailed the union’s latest report as the first to determine the potential cost and savings of taking back control of the country’s entire energy network.
