We can expect a raft of policy announcements from Labour over the next few days and we have already had one big one.
Sir Keir Starmer last night announced plans to make the UK a world-leading “clean energy superpower” by 2030: The Labour leader wants the nation to have a zero-carbon electricity system by the end of the current decade.
The plans would see the UK’s entire power system run using just renewables and nuclear power. If it happened, the UK would be the first country in the world with a totally clean system.
Sir Keir said: “The British people are sick and tired of rocketing energy bills and our energy system being exposed to dictators. They want long-term solutions to cut bills for good.

Sir Keir claimed the plans would save the British people £93 billion on their energy bills and create a wave of high-skilled jobs.
