Jill Wareham, Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for the Isle of Wight, commenting on the proposed offshore wind farm off the west of the Isle of Wight said: "I welcome the proposal by Eneco to build a wind farm off the Isle of Wight. We are told that this will produce around 900mw of power and electricity generated within the nine new off-shore wind farms around Great Britain could meet the needs of more than a quarter of the UK's electricity consumption.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
