Today, Labour is launching the Local Power Plan, the biggest public investment in community energy projects in our history.
For years these projects have faced barriers with little support from Whitehall, but today’s announcement means that reality is no longer.

Was pleased to join the launch of Climate Jobs UK this week, calling, in the words of Gary Smith, for the just transition to be a jobs transition.
The introduction of a Fair Work Charter for the next round of off-shore wind is a strong step on this journey.

'For the energy transition to work, it must deliver good union jobs, not just clean power' - LabourList
As Labour accelerates offshore wind, it must ensure the transition creates good, unionised jobs in the communities that need them most — or risk losing public support for clean energy.

It was great to host a roundtable yesterday with Warmworks to hear from Energy Consumers Minister @martinmccluskey.bsky.social about the Government’s landmark Warm Homes Plan. Excellent discussion with MPs on how the plan can be most effectively delivered to cut fuel poverty and emissions.

With climate volatility, food security and long-term investment now front and centre, Martin argues this is a moment to start building - getting policy to work for farmers on the ground, and recognising that profitability, nature recovery and climate resilience go hand in hand.

Martin reflects on the government’s proposed changes to inheritance tax and why they should be welcomed as a chance to draw a line under a difficult debate and reset the focus on what really matters: giving farmers clarity and confidence to run resilient and sustainable businesses.
