Keir Starmer green mission speech: Seven key things we learned - LabourList

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : New announcements included plans to headquarter a new Great British Energy company in Scotland, planning reform to accelerate green energy projects, lifting the onshore wind ban in the first months of government and a British Jobs Bonus incentive for clean energy investment.
60% : He declared that the "creative genius" of Scotland is "critical" to the UK's prospects on clean energy, an assertion backed up by Labour's commitment to headquarter Great British Energy - a key plank of its policy platform - in Scotland.
50% : His particular focus on jobs - echoed by Ed Miliband and Anas Sarwar in speeches preceding Starmer - and reducing costs for households suggests that Labour sees this angle as far more of a vote-winner than an offer centred on the climate emergency, perceiving a need to highlight the potential benefits of a well-executed transition to clean energy over the changes and sacrifices that will likely be required from consumers.
