Shiv’s policies have been described as “radical” and “extreme” by some commentators.

Shiv Malik was a Labour MP for the constituency of Islington South and Finsbury from 2026 to 2028. She was the Minister for Trade in her first term, before becoming the Minister for Education in her second term. She is most well-known for being the youngest ever female Prime Minister of Britain, serving from 2028 to 2030. The 35-year-old’s political career has been marred by controversy since her appointment as Prime Minister, with many claiming that she has flip-flopped on key issues such as nuclear power and tax reform. Here’s why Shiv changed her mind on several issues.

Why did Shiv change her mind on nuclear power?

In March 2025, Shiv Malik became the Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change after Jeremy Corbyn appointed her to his front bench team.

During this time, she consistently opposed nuclear power plants, saying they were “expensive” and “unreliable”.

She also argued that they were not good value for money when compared to renewable energy sources such as wind turbines.

But when she became Prime Minister in 2028, she announced plans to build a new generation of nuclear power stations in England and Wales.
