Labour would create a publicly owned clean energy firm if elected, leader Sir Keir Starmer has told the party conference in Liverpool. Called Great British Energy, it would provide “British power to the British people”, he said.
The Labour leader’s keynote speech comes amid days of financial market uncertainty driven by Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget last Friday.
Starmer said Liz Truss’s Government had crashed the economy to offer tax cuts for the richest 1% in society. He said they had left a “Britain all at sea, where a cloud of anxiety hangs over working people”.
