KEIR Starmer has vowed to cut fuel bills as new figures showed prices have soared by £400 a year under the Tories.
Ahead of visiting Scotland today, the Labour leader promised to "bring down energy bills for good".
Labour plans to reduce costs to households by setting up GB Energy and investing in clean power.
He said: "After 14 years of Tory chaos, people across Scotland are desperate for change. Families are picking up the tab of 14 years of Tory energy failure and are expected to remain a staggering £400 a year worse off under the new price cap."
Starmer's pledge came as new figures showed the yearly energy bill for the average household has soared to £1574.
A study by Cornwall Insight says that is £400 more than the average household paid in 2021 before the energy crisis when yearly bills were £1138.
Starmer said GB energy will be headquartered in Scotland.
