Adil Questions Keir Starmer on Why the Public Should Believe Him

Both the Prime Minister and Keir Starmer are promising cheaper gas and electricity bills with the Labour leader saying his government would set up 'Great British Energy', a publicly owned energy company to invest in clean UK power. He says this 'ought to bring down household bills by about £400'.
Adil Ray questions Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer on why the public should believe him or his first steps for a Labour government.

I thought the labour party wanted to re-nationalise everything. Now he talks about inviting the private sector to invest most of the costs developing great British energy. This will need people like me buying shares in great British energy to fund it. And I'm sorry to say the SHAREHOLDERS who invest want a decent return. And how can labour make it any cheaper creating this white elephant when he's been slating the government for reopening the North sea gas taps. Someone tell him most of our energy needs (gas) will still be imported, thus we are dictated by the price on the market. Conflicts around the world affect prices. Fear Starmer has NO clue.

Private companies who have non-profit subsidiaries for public infrastrucure contracts do very well in Europe. Some even invest their overflow into UK private companies. That's how, for example, the German transport system have an efficient system with fares being 40% less than ours. Big insurance companies, like AXA, run sections of the health service, along with grants for people who use fitness centres to improve their health and well being, again more efficiently. What do they get out of it? They employ vast numbers of well paid employees, all paying tax, free PR and advertising, along with tax breaks for reinvestment. Is Starmer the one to do it? . . .
