Environmental campaigners from Friends of the Earth protest outside the UK government building in Edinburgh to demand the government reverses its decision to approve Shell's Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, June 2, 2022

ENVIRONMENTALISTS in Scotland have called on Labour to produce a green transition plan with workers at its heart.

Friends of the Earth Scotland (FoES) made the call as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is expected to outline the party’s position in a keynote speech in Edinburgh today.

The campaign group has called on the Labour leader to focus on the blueprint for a just energy transition that was drawn up by offshore oil and gas workers and backed by key trade unions.
