(The remaining 21% largely came from nuclear.)"

They are doing the thing. Conflating the terms "energy" and "electricity".
.
Electricity is only a small fraction of total primary energy consumption.

. I couldn't find a chart with a better break out for UK "renewables and nuclear" But this is the newest chart showing the totals from 2018 for Germany which will slightly lead UK on wind and solar at 4.6%.

And then to keep this in perspective for the world, additions of fossil fuel consumption outpace new added production from renwables by 2-3X every year. Energy consumption is growing far faster than solar and wind are being built out.
