Scotland’s First Minister has accused the UK Government of “hoodwinking” the public over GB Energy’s ability to bring down bills.

The agency was set up following Labour’s win at the election with the decision made last year to headquarter it in Aberdeen – the oil and gas capital of Europe – with the goal of cutting costs for consumers.
