Keir Starmer tries to calm rift with GMB over energy policy

Keir Starmer has moved to calm a growing rift with the GMB union over Labour’s energy policy, even as its leader renewed his attack on the party’s plan to prohibit new North Sea oil and gas developments. The Labour leader has pledged to enact the ban if his party wins power, proposing to invest instead in renewable sources, such as wind farms, and in nuclear power.
The policy has angered some unions concerned over job security for oil and gas workers, with the GMB’s general secretary, Gary Smith, accusing the party on Sunday of “being naive” and risking a possible “cliff-edge with oil and gas extraction”.
