Labour has unveiled detailed plans for 'Great British Energy,' a publicly-owned clean power company aimed at addressing the cost of living crisis by reducing energy bills and creating jobs. The initiative promises to decarbonize the power grid by 2030, a move projected to cost £93 billion annually. Labour claims the plan will create 650,000 jobs and save the average household £300, funded through a windfall tax on oil and gas giants. Critics argue the financial burden is enormous and the timeline unrealistic, labeling the plan as dishonest and extreme. The plan aims to benefit areas such as Gorton, Denton, and Scotland.
Labour's 'Great British Energy' is, frankly, lying to your faces. A cynical bit of shallow rhetoric, founded on dodgy, cherry-picked data. Utterly shameless and irresponsible. https://t.co/iQ8kf3k97k

We need a Labour Government to create GB Energy, a publicly-owned clean power company, to cut bills for good. The plan will create 650,000 jobs and save the average household £300 - all funded through a windfall tax on oil and gas giants. https://t.co/51pB34P6WJ
Key thread: Lab's policy to decarbonise the power grid would cost £93bn a year just to be completed by 2034. And they are promising to complete it by 2030! These are utterly enormous and unaffordable financial burdens on families. Crazy, dishonest and extreme. ⬇️ https://t.co/VT869xxT7C
