Starmer Announces Some Great Policies – But Can We Trust Him?

I got this email from the Labour leader yesterday, along with the inevitable request for a donation. There are some great policies in there, such as a publicly owned energy company. The problem is that Starmer’s got plenty of previous on making promises he has no intention of keeping, and of watering down his proposals when he starts thinking he’s getting near power.

‘David James, if this year’s Conference has proved one thing, it is this: 

Labour will deliver a fairer, greener future for working people. 

Here’s how we’ll do it:

In my first year as Prime Minister, Britain will start its journey to becoming a clean energy superpower by setting up a new, publicly owned company: Great British Energy. 

Publicly owned British power. 

Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, growing our economy and protecting our country from being held to ransom by dictators like Putin.

British power to the British people.

Clean hydrogen energy in South Yorkshire, in the East of England, across the river in the Wirral. Offshore wind in Scotland, Teesside, East and North Yorkshire. Solar power, growing rural communities, in the South East, South West and Midlands.

David James, to achieve this, Labour must win. 

Will you chip into the General Election fund today, for a fairer, greener future tomorrow?

I’ll donate

While the Tories lurch from crisis to crisis, Labour’s green prosperity plan will deliver an economy that works for everyone.

Labour will:  

• Freeze energy bills now with a windfall tax on oil and gas producers 
• Keep bills down long term by insulating 19 million homes 
• Secure energy independence with GB Energy 
• Create one million new jobs by investing in new green industries 
• Safeguard nature and our children’s future with a Clean Air Act 

Britain deserves better than Liz Truss’ trickle-down fantasy.

Britain deserves a fairer, greener future. 

Labour is ready.

Thank you, 

Keir Starmer 
Leader of the Labour Party’
