Live: Keir Starmer delivers speech as new Great British Energy partnership launched

Sir Keir Starmer delivers a speech as a new Great British Energy partnership is launched on Thursday (25 July).
The prime minister and energy secretary Ed Miliband have announced the first major partnership between Great British Energy and The Crown Estate to unleash billions of investment in clean power.
Labour say the partnership will boost Britain’s energy independence by investing in homegrown power, and with accompanying reforms to policy, cut the time it takes to get offshore wind projects operating and delivering power to homes by up to half.

10 seconds in and he says his dad is a tool maker, is that a new record?

stop moaning about the last government and say what you are actually going to do and get on with it. You got the goons out but don't use them as an excuse for everything when something does not work. Remember the last labour government made loads of promises and delivered little.
