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.

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'.
