Starmer Revises Clean Power Target to 95%, Adjusts G7 Growth Pledge
Dec 5, 2024, 11:22 AM
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer faces scrutiny over apparent changes to key policy pledges outlined in the party's manifesto. During Prime Minister's Questions, Starmer refused to commit to his previous pledge to make the UK the fastest-growing economy in the G7, now referring to it as an 'aim' rather than a firm target. Additionally, in his new 'Plan for Change' document, Starmer updated Labour's clean energy target to 'at least 95% clean power' by 2030, a shift from the previous promise of 'zero-carbon electricity', which implies 100% clean power. Critics note that the 95% target aligns with the last Conservative government's goals, suggesting a significant policy U-turn. Despite these changes, Starmer insists that his pledges 'have not changed' and states he is 'doubling down' on his commitments, asserting there is 'no watering down' of the 2030 clean energy mission.
