The UK Labour Party is facing scrutiny over its commitment to a 'clean energy' target by 2030, as there is a delay to a UK nuclear plant project that is central to the plan. Critics of Labour's £28 billion green investment pledge have accused Sue Gray, Chief of Staff to Labour leader Keir Starmer, of delaying a decision to potentially drop the figure. This comes amid internal criticisms within Labour's campaign operation. Ed Miliband has reportedly 'gone bananas' over the plan to abandon the £28 billion figure after the Budget, according to Harry Cole. Ed Balls has confirmed that Keir Starmer will ditch the £28 billion green investment pledge. The Labour Party is said to need at least an additional £8 billion to deliver on its green-investment plan, which is causing Starmer to consider changes to the manifesto.
