A leaked audio recording of Darren Jones, the Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, has revealed that Labour's plans to decarbonise Britain's economy could cost 'hundreds of billions' of pounds. The recording has sparked controversy, with calls for Labour to clarify the true cost of their net zero plans, initially estimated at £28 billion. Keir Starmer, Labour's leader, has faced criticism for not denying the high cost of the eco-scheme during a BBC debate. The revelation has led to public and political scrutiny over the financial implications of Labour's environmental strategy.
