Last night Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho told the Mail: 'Labour still can't explain to the public what this policy actually is because they do not have a plan, placing Britain's energy security at risk. Union leaders turned on Sir Keir about the policy, warning it could cost thousands of jobs because his plan involves not issuing any new licences for gas and oil drilling in the North Sea.

The company would invest in domestic power sources, with the aim of cutting energy bills. Early investments by Great British Energy will include wind and solar projects across the UK, as well as making Scotland a world leader in new technologies such as floating offshore wind farms and hydrogen. Under the party's plans if it wins the general election, it would set up a new publicly owned company – Great British Energy
