Watch live as Sir Keir Starmer makes a speech in Scotland on clean energy.

The Labour leader is set to unveil his party's fourth mission for a better Britain: To make Britain a clean energy superpower to create jobs, cut bills and boost energy security with zero-carbon electricity by 2030.

"We're going to throw everything at this: planning reform, procurement, long-term finance, R&D, a strategic plan for skills and supply chains... Pulling together for a simple, unifying priority: British power for British jobs," Sir Keir is expected to say, per The Guardian.

He is also expected to contrast the opportunities for investing in a low-carbon economy with the devastation of the UK's industrial heartlands under Margaret Thatcher.

"This cannot be a re-run of the 1980s," he will say. "This is the race of our lifetime, and the prize is real."

Sir Keir is speaking from Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, on Monday morning (19 June).
