Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to reduce household bills by up to £300 should be a strategic priority for the new Great British Energy company, the Conservatives have said.

The Opposition said it wants to amend the Great British Energy Bill, which would enable the company to be established, to ensure Labour delivers on promises it made during the general election.
