Keir Starmer says PM’s ‘failed energy policy’ is causing bills to rocket

Labour leader calls for investment in nuclear, renewables and insulating homes to cut use of Russian oil and gas

Keir Starmer has accused Boris Johnson of presiding over a failed energy policy" which is seeing bills rocket, calling for the government to invest in nuclear and renewable energy sources and insulate homes to cut reliance on Russian oil and gas.

The Labour leader used prime minister's questions to repeatedly link the impact of the invasion of Ukraine to the cost of living, an issue where many Conservative MPs want to see more robust action from ministers.
