what do you make of this plan for gb energy? thanks very much. so this plan for gb energy?this plan for gb energy? thanks very much. so the need to be proactive i much. so the need to be proactive and ambitious to transition away from fossil fuels is really not in any doubt. scotland plus michael and gas sector, of course it is a major part of our economy, supporting huge numbers ofjobs particularly in the northeast not only there. it has both scotland, the uk and indeed the world transitions away from fossil fuels towards net zero, we will see jobs in that sector decline. and indeed jobs have been declining quite considerably in that sector over the past decade already. as of the question is do we proactively planned out to deliver that managed, controlled transition away from fossil fuels to low carbon energy or do we sit back and see how much more a chaotic transition later on that of course could result in that widespread disruption, unemployment, regional decline, must be sought when the mines closed down in the uk a few decades ago. nap that does not mean turning off

they're launching gb energy . who wants to go first gb energy.is dennis. >> yes, it's a very important development. i was very struck i after the electricity crisis, you know when with all our bills went up, they've not come down looking at the rest of europe, different countries doing it in different countries doing it in different ways. but all the time the energy companies were so organised they protected consumers. the government would step in to protect consumers. we did nothing but energy prices never go down. >> when have they gone down, dennis? >> well, they literally like properly, you know, so often the barrels are going down but yet the prices continue to rise just like petrol and no, no , i mean like petrol and no, no, i mean i used to keep an eye on petrol pumps, but i drove a lot. i don't drive now. my partner certainly does it. she said, oh look at that price. but the trajectory is always no, no it's, it's, it's come down as well. so general terms we are all enough. we're quite good in scotland. we've got an awful lot of onshore wi

as far as gb energy is concerned, keir starmer keen to — and has always been keen to — ground it, yestish flag hanging from it as well. why? because they say it would be headquartered here in scotland. i guess from labour's perspective, as a unionist party, wanting to see the uk stay in its kind of broadly current constitutional set—up, then you put things that have a gb badge on in scotland as a kind of binding agent of the uk union. the other thing, to make the obvious political point, but it's worth making, is that there's a very good political reason, at least strategically, they would see it, labour, for having keir starmer, angela rayner, ed miliband and anas sarwar, the... oh, i think there's a fire test! male vows: we're - about to conduct a test of a fire alarm system. no action is to be taken. thank you. this is exciting, isn't it? i'm glad it's not a realfire. well, am i going to be blasted by white noise in a minute? i don't know. or maybe it's one of those silent ones that only dogs can hear. this is like a bbc training course unfolding live on newscast. i know, i know! s

gb energy. what are you against? in the north—east of scotland, which is something that concerns us deeply. our primary concern with labour's plans as we do not really know what they are and what we do know is they are likely to jeopardise 100,000 jobs. laboursaid it are likely to jeopardise 100,000 jobs. labour said it will bring in jobs. labour said it will bring in jobs and boost the economy. well they would but i would like them to tell us what gb energy actually means. and why they think removing investment allowances will aid the just transition. we know we need to reach net zero. scotland has a brilliant opportunity to lead the way in that regard because of the talent and skills we have, resources, infrastructure around the north—east and around energy but labour appears to be saying to workers there, you will lose your job now and there may be some jobs in ten years if you hold on. our approach is to make sure it is a just transition. we need to listen to the unions. this is scotland's primary industry and fo

i trajectory for gb energy.y came up with the idea, they wanted it to be like the french champion edf, as is edf, that in 2022 had to be bailed out with £10 million of taxpayers money in france because of its bad investments. and that was even investments. and that was even in nuclear, where the french are the experts. so it's a really dangerous idea for the public purse. >> i mean, andy, sir patrick vallance, he says the prize of this is huge lower energy bills, good jobs, more innovative businesses , energy security, businesses, energy security, climate leadership . he seems to climate leadership. he seems to suggest that perhaps the government isn't going quick enough on this stuff. we've heard from labour that it could save us £300 a year on our energy bills, but that doesn't stack up for you . stack up for you. >> well, not at all. i mean, it's got nothing to do with saving money. the only way you can save money is if the global price of oil falls. the regional price of oil falls. the regional price of oil

it'sjust it >> so the gb energy is a good idea.just it was going to have a lot of money that would have a lot of money that would have made the difference. and now the amount of money that they're talking about is two things. firstly, they're saying actually we're not going to put in very much of the money. we're going to use it to crowd in private money, which any public money would do anyway. and then they cut down the amount of money that they were going to put into the green plan. it's supposed to be 28 billion. yeah. and then it went down to less than a fifth of that. and this is what we see again and again. you know, people like ed miliband who i think his heart is in the right place and he's pushing things in the direction of what he believes. he gets these chinks of light where they get to put forward a policy where you can see where it would be different from the government, and something would be different, and then it just gets watered back. and that's because the tories have made such a hash of the country in the last 1

energy secretary claire coutinho told gb news energy prices are coming down. >> my priority is cheapthe country . i know that for the country. i know that that's how the country will succeed, succeed or fail. whether your businesses or household, it's really important that we get people cheap energy. and actually, if you look at ed miliband's plans , even places miliband's plans, even places like the tony blair institute have said that his plans, which have said that his plans, which have decarbonisation targets that no other major country have, are going to raise people's bills and hike people's taxes. and we've looked at these numbers and i should tell you that that's something like £2,000 worth of extra taxes on households because of their overall plans over the course of the next parliament. >> sir ed davey says the liberal democrats would slash energy bills by investing in home insulation and boosting renewables . mp helen morgan says renewables. mp helen morgan says her party's ideas are influencing government policy. >> well, i think we've always been able to influence the age

and of course, he will be announcing that the flagship energy policy of the labour party, gb energy, important because energy is in increasingly an issue that is on the radar of voters because they have made the connection between energy security , international events security, international events and price inflation. and he will be hoping that they will be heanng be hoping that they will be hearing of all of these plans, and that this will sound concrete enough because it is a new company, vie. there will be a lot of investment. they will also welcome private investment, of course, which is something i think only the labour party could do and get away with, but it should appear to have more broad variety of voters . broad variety of voters. >> and we've been talking about keir starmer being up in scotland today in wales yesterday. all of this threatens to be overshadowed, doesn't it, by the diane abbott row which is now in about day four, and do you think it is exposed , caused you think it is exposed, caused splits in high levels of the labour party? wes streeting speaking earlier

much, you know, doing something on green levies is, is not a bad idea to try and counter labour's gb energyt we're less dependent on expensive gas from across the world. wow, wow . across the world. wow, wow. >> quite. though, ed miliband's track record of doing things that save taxpayers money is not a huge success. but my old boss now, now, the election campaign has only just got started. rishi sunak was keen to land the first blow, apparently on his biggest rival. he accused starmer of quote thinking he can walk into downing street and take the pubuc downing street and take the public for granted . so that is public for granted. so that is apparently the quote. i don't know how personally offensive that is, but it seems that labour mp pat mcfadden didn't take those words kindly. >> the conservatives were to win . do we even know if rishi sunak with would remain as prime minister will be subject to one of the bouts of leadership challenges that always takes them over, so we're not surprised that they will throw personal attacks at keir starmer. but right now, i can also reveal that a cons

and i mean, labour are more guilty of it when they're talking about gb energy.ahead on net zero, if we can drive all those jobs and opportunity into this country, and gbbn is just part of it, we can get ahead and have all of that stuff happening here. we have to be investing in the new things in a big, big way. >> the question is, does the pubuc >> the question is, does the public need to invest in it? is it the taxpayers? so when i look at some of this now, the department for energy and net zero estimated that there will be £100 billion worth of private investment put towards the uk's energy transition by 2030. the national grid announced last week that it plans to invest £31 billion on the uk's transition . billion on the uk's transition. sse is investing 18 billion over the next five years. scottish power as well announced plans to invest £12 billion, so that's private. why do we need a small state owned company at the taxpayers expense? >> well, whether it's a small state owned company or a large one, actually, to be honest with you, and whether that is the

we've been calling here in gb news for a long time that it's unfair if energy subsidies to the renewables, to build their solar farms , if they're paid out solar farms, if they're paid out of electricity and gas bills , of electricity and gas bills, because that's disproportionately falling on the poor who pay more as a share of their income on gas and electricity than wealthier households, it's a bigger share. same with with food. so i think that's unfair. it should come out of general taxation if they're subsidised at all. you know, if it stacks up in a business sense, why does it need to be subsidised? all this green energy, that's one thing. so the tories are now saying just as the election is called, oh, we're going to get rid of these subsidies on your electricity bill for green energy. you know, i'll believe that when i see it, to be honest with you. i think that's just an election wheeze by the tories. but then labour, they're saying they want this great british energy company. okay. and that's a slogan. i don't know what they're talking about beyond that, because no proper infor

. >> so our plan on gb energy, our new publicly owned energy company, which will build renewable power across britain, is absolutely essential to tackling the climate crisis. and it's the new argument, for chris, our action on climate, which is it is about lower bills , it's about energy security. so we're not at the mercy of dictators like putin. and it's about good jobs across britain. >> and if a labour government is elected, that's what we'll be doing. it is about it's about giving to people first steps clear promises that we can deliver. >> and i just underline that to you, chris, because it's so easy for people to come along at elections, make grand promises which then don't get delivered, and then the public feel let down yet again. we're not going to do that. that's why these first steps are really important. >> and ed miliband there, the former labour leader, i should say, the first time he's ever spoken to gb news so gradually we're getting more engaged with these labour politicians, baby steps along with six steps. >> now, of course, ed miliband had his own list. we all reme

by raising taxes on private education, vat and business rates, if it is for instance setting up gb energytical deliverable actions can be taken, that they can be funded and supported. of course they are notjust be funded and supported. of course they are not just for steps, be funded and supported. of course they are notjust for steps, they are not to scale of our conditions, we want to renew the country and the chance to have a mentally better and different pass but we know when the problems are so great people want to know how to practically make a difference to those things. for instance, can if we were to look at the 40,000 additional nhs procedures every week under a labour government, we would change the rules the government have slightly stolen from us on the non—dom tax policy and in how taxes are collected and specifically we would use that money to deliver that pledge so we want to be able to show people we can make a real difference as soon as possible to their lives. of as soon as possible to their lives. of course have a whole range of pledges in the long—term, building would

one was the vat on private schools and one was a windfall tax on oil and gas giants to pay for gb energyyou know, there are obviously up front from labour things that you can call tax rises. so the tories can attack them on that. but what it isn't is a rise in income tax or the vat rate as a whole . so it's not a tax rise whole. so it's not a tax rise that the vast majority of us will feel. >> i'm wondering if you actually agree on that, because if the way i look at it, the oil and gas thing as well will leave will lead to energy giants leaving the north sea, private schools are saying we're going to have to hike our costs, which will exactly which will mean that parents go into the state sector . that's an extra cost to sector. that's an extra cost to the taxpayer. so where do you stand on that? >> well, i don't think he should even be attacking private schools. i think that's an attack on class and social mobility. i've got four kids. everyone knows that, three girls went to state schools. my son went to state schools. my son went to state schools. my son went to a state school, but we

the fourth is to set up gb energy, a publicly owned energy company , to help get bills down company,ity so that we're not reliant on the international markets that spiked so highly after russia invaded ukraine. the fifth is to crack down on antisocial behaviour, with 13,000 more police and pcsos restoring neighbourhood policing and cracking down on that problem, which is such an issue in many communities represented around the country . and the around the country. and the final one is to hire 6500 new teachers to expand opportunity for young people and make sure that they're ready for life, work and the future. these are our first steps. these are our policies , and we're looking policies, and we're looking forward to talking a lot about them over the next six weeks. yeah, but you say these are your first steps. >> how are you going to get any of these in place if you win the election? you'll be lucky to get any of these up and running by 2029, won't you? >> i no, i don't think so. i think we can get started on these things right away. we're conscious of the economic inheritance that

we hope the electorate will respond to, for example , setting respond to, for example, setting up gb energynership so that we can invest properly in a railways that the country can be proud of again, rather than hundreds of millions of pounds leaking out to shareholders every year. and of course, we've committed to the triple lock for pensioners as well. so there are things that we hope people will respond positively to. but our entire strategy is, of course, based on the rock of economic security and stability, because we haven't had that simply for 14 years. and that's why over 120 business leaders have backed labour and our plans today. >> okay. thanks forjoining us. always appreciate your time. louise haigh, the shadow transport secretary. thank you very much for your time. now, the liberal democrat campaign battlebus has been in the lake district today, and party leader sir ed davey was very critical of the conservatives triple lock plus pensions policy. when we spoke to reporters earlier on. >> it's rather remarkable. they're trying to make out this is some great policy. when they wer
