Gordon Brown calls on Government to cut energy prices!

 

Gordon Brown

As a leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has a serious image problem. Not only is he seen as rather boring and lacking in charisma, but voters don't really know what the Labour Party under his leadership really stands for, or whether it offers a credible alternative, to the Conservatives. 

The intervention of the former Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, into the debate about Britain's unprecedented cost of living crisis, has shown how inert Starmer is as a leader and how he's lacking in both direction and initiative. Gordon Brown, is calling for the government to cancel the energy price cap and to negotiate new lower prices with energy companies and for greater help for those in receipt of benefits. He also believes that if energy companies -  who are making record profits - don't cut energy prices, they should be temporarily renationalized. 

While Gordon Brown has taken the initiative on this, the insipid Starmer, has gone on holiday along with his Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves. Labour have already stated that they have no intention of renationalizing rail, water, or energy.
