Sir Keir Starmer fleshed out his plans for GB Energy at an event in Scotland, which he travelled to by private jet. Labour have previously criticised Sunak for this - but said it was the most efficient way for them to travel.

Sir Keir Starmer insisted he is 'not turning off the taps' on oil and gas after warnings his plan for a state-owned clean energy company will lead to thousands of job losses. The Labour leader rejected criticism from unions that his flagship policy is 'a ban without a plan' because it will cost more jobs than it will create.

Labour said initial investments will be made within weeks, including in wind and solar projects, and as the firm grows, it will look into floating offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture in the hope of making Scotland 'a world leader in cutting-edge technologies'.
