Labour unveils plan to create 400,000 green jobs across Britain Empty Labour unveils plan to create 400,000 green jobs across Britain

Keir Starmer has announced a £30bn plan to revive UK manufacturing by creating 400,000 green jobs.

In an attempt to mitigate the blow to employment caused by Covid-19, the Labour leader said the proposed investment in secure low-carbon jobs would have knock-on effects across the economy.

Hundreds of thousands of jobs would be supported in manufacturing sectors including steel, offshore wind, automotive and aerospace, Starmer said.

Labour hopes to win back support in once safe seats in the Midlands and the north of England that were lost to the Conservatives in the 2019 election, but faces the prospect of losing another “red wall” seat – Hartlepool – in a byelection next month.

Starmer, who has been under pressure to boost Labour’s low standing in opinion polls by coming up with fresh policy ideas, said: “Labour’s plan to create hundreds of thousands of jobs would boost employment right across the country, creating secure employment in clean industries including our country’s vital manufacturing industries.

“Under the Conservatives, our manufacturers have been neglected, putting jobs at risk while ministers have done favours for their friends. The people of Britain deserve better – opportunities, fairness and good jobs in their communities which are a source of pride and dignity. The Conservatives can’t be trusted to deliver that.”

So could one of our Brits explain to me what happens now?

In America, they'd draft legislation in Congress in one of the committees and have a vote on whether to introduce it into one of the two houses of Congress for a full debate, revision, vote, etc.

I'd like to know how it works over here.
