Starmer to announce scaling back of £28bn green investment plan

Labour leader to say move is down to economic uncertainty caused by Tory government, sources reveal

Keir Starmer will announce on Thursday that he is scaling back Labour's 28bn green investment programme, in his biggest policy U-turn since becoming party leader.

Senior Labour sources have told the Guardian that Starmer will finally confirm the party is no longer planning to spend 28bn a year on environmental schemes, given the economic uncertainty caused by the Conservative government.
