"The choice between heating and eating isn't just a political slogan, it's the reality for far too many people"

Sir Keir Starmer visited a North Staffordshire engineering firm today (April 7) to discuss the impact of rising energy costs on energy intensive industries.

The Labour leader met staff and apprentices at KMF Precision Sheet Metal, in Newcastle-under-Lyme, which is one of the largest sheet metal engineering and metal fabrication companies in the UK.

Sir Keir's visit comes at a critical time for families and businesses across the UK who are facing a huge increase in gas and electric bills.
