Sir Keir Starmer gives first Labour conference speech as UK Prime Minister

Labour’s GB Energy company will be “based in Aberdeen”, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed in a long-awaited move.

The Prime Minister announced: “We said GB Energy – our publicly-owned national champion, the vehicle that will drive forward our mission on clean energy – we said it belonged in Scotland."

“And it does. But the truth is, it could only really be based in one place in Scotland."

Oh goody lets all do the Highland Fling. He also wanted all the sausages released, what a tosser.

[ancietman]

I wonder how many jobs GB Energy will create in Aberdeen?. Nowhere the number they will lose from the oil industry I expect.

[johnbennett]

Swastika Starmer couldnt run a bath let alone a country.

[apollo]

Sir??
What a joke.
He is a wef paid off puppet.
Lets get his title correct hey.

Maybe the labour party should move their headquarters to Scotland there a lovely little island called Gruinard that's where they tested the Anthrax virus

[Adept]

What is the actual point of this pointless energy company, with what we know of how corrupt Labour is it will probably be to give them money

[ScottyJ]

GB Energy is a Hedge Fund for London, nothing more.

[Frank-is]

Just started stocking up on candles could be handy forfuture

[stevanbankier]

Based in Aberdeen all energy funnelled to England and not a single penny will come to Scotland

$ir free gear 2TK Stürmer is a souled out WEF W⚓️

[obtuse]

Aberdeen? Bollox. He's just throwing a sausage to placate the independence voters. It will be as real as the HS rail line linking the north. 😂😂

[gotenksjr]

Should have nationalised what we have, what a tool

[anthonyc]

He also promised a return of the sausages.

[worldmilitarystats]

Whats the problem with this honestly? People blame him for doing nothing and when he does something they all complain. this is literally an energy company that will challenge local prices and bring costs down, encouraging competition within energy companies.

[lewissmith]

Good thinh Aberdeen has GB energy, great idea, what with oil decline, good to help it in the transformation.

[peterevans]

How dare he use a Union Jack in the background when he has no idea what it represents to true British people.

[markhoulding]

I guess it’s ok for them to use the Union Jack flag or posters.

[kazab]

We need Joy...just like cackling Kamala!

[phill]

Obviously England's not good enough....

[johncollins]

And they have the gaul to have the union flag behind them.
