Sir Keir Starmer will try to persuade unions to back his plan for a shift to green energy as part of a “new business model for Britain”.
The Labour leader will address the GMB union’s conference, after its general secretary criticised the opposition party’s plan to ban new oil and gas extraction licences in the North Sea.
In a speech on Tuesday Starmer will pledge to work with unions to “seize the opportunities” of hydrogen power and carbon capture and storage projects.
