SIR KEIR STARMER must fight for a “bold” green recovery that would see energy firms taken under public control and Britain go carbon net-zero by 2030, Labour activists have demanded. 

Socialist Labour MPs, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, have backed calls by members demanding that the new leadership stick to the party’s radical “Green New Deal” climate programme.

The programme was passed overwhelmingly by members last year after it was proposed by members’ grouping Labour for a Green New Deal.
