Starmer Promises Job Surge with Labour's New Energy Plan

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer announced plans to base the headquarters of the new publicly-owned energy company, Great British Energy, in Scotland, promising a significant number of skilled jobs and a focus on renewable energy. The SNP criticized the plan, warning it could jeopardize 100,000 North Sea jobs. The company would be funded by a windfall tax on oil and gas firms and invest in wind, solar, and new technologies. Critics question the feasibility and potential impact on existing jobs and energy prices.
