I prioritised good jobs for local people at the election, and the GB Energy Bill, which has its third reading today in Commons, is one way in which we are delivering more decent and well-paid jobs.
It will create a new publicly owned, clean power company to lower bills and drive-up living standards for people in Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton – which is vital because despite the fact energy bills are now coming down, they are still roughly 42% higher than before the Tory cost-of-living crisis.
We are changing Britain. We are turning away from 14 years of chaos and decline; and turning towards the lowest inflation in over 3 years, £24 billion of private investment being secured for clean energy projects, £22 billion being invested in carbon capture in our northern industrial heartlands.
Our decade of national renewal is well underway.
