Corbyn criticises government's record on renewable energy

Labour leader tells PM that Britain will go to Paris climate talks with biggest gap between usage and 2020 targets of any EU country

Britain will go to the Paris climate talks with the biggest gap between current renewable energy usage and 2020 targets of any EU country, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

Challenging David Cameron on the government's renewables record during prime minister's question time on Wednesday, Corbyn asked: "You used to tell us yours was the greenest government ever. Do you remember those days? Do you agree with the energy secretary Britain is likely to miss its target of getting 15% of its energy from renewables by 2020?"
