SIR Keir Starmer has vowed to save households £475 a year on energy bills by getting rid of petrol and gas in the UK.
The Labour leader this morning set out his massive plan to slash bills and make the UK energy independent by 2030.
He said Brits should never have their bills held to ransom by foreign tyrants like Mad Vlad Putin again.
Sir Keir said: “The British people are sick and tired of rocketing energy bills and our energy system being exposed to dictators. They want long-term solutions to cut bills for good.
“That is why I am proud to announce that a central mission of my Labour Government will be to turn the UK into a clean energy superpower.”
