Keir Starmer said Labour would fund an energy price cap with a windfall tax that could prevent significant increases in energy costs for households later this year and reduce inflation. 'Our plan not only keeps prices down this winter, but it also takes inflation down by 4%,' Starmer said. He also called for a 'sprint on renewables', to prevent dependence on international energy markets and ruled out any attempt to nationalise energy companies.
