Government loses bid to block cross-Channel electricity cable

But Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan said the court's decision "will be a bitter blow to Portsmouth people". "I've been clear from the outset that this project would bring untold disruption to our daily lives and natural environment, with no clear benefits."
