Keir Starmer says Tories have 'lost control of British economy' as he pledges state-owned energy firm

Sir Keir Starmer discussed the financial struggles currently facing the country as he delivered a speech today during the Labour Party conference, accusing the Tories of 'losing control' of the economy.

The Labour leader promised a new state-owned energy firm to help create a 'fairer, greener, more dynamic nation' if the Tories are ousted at the next election. He also claimed Labour was the 'party of home ownership', pledging a target of 70 per cent home ownership, and committed to putting the 'country first, and party second'.

During the keynote speech in Liverpool, Sir Keir claimed that Liz Truss' new government had deliberately crippled the economy in order to give tax cuts to the richest in society. It comes after Sir Keir received promising results in a recent poll resulting from core changes to his party.
