Keir: We'll change UK for the better

A LABOUR government will keep energy prices down across the whole of the UK, Sir Keir Starmer vowed as he spoke about his party's goal to 'change Britain for the better.'

On the campaign trail in Scotland ahead of the General Election on July 4, the Labour leader insisted his party can 'kick the Tories out' of power at Downing Street.

He said Labour can 'bring about the change we desperately need,' with plans to 'rebuild' the economy and 'get it functioning, working for everyone.

Speaking as analysts warned energy regulator Ofgem could increase the price cap on bills in October, Sir Keir also spoke about Labour's plans to establish a publicly-owned energy company.
