A busy few days at Scottish Labour party conference

True North’s expert advisors share their analysis on Labour's Autumn Budget including Labour's positioning, what it means for the Scottish Government and the energy industry.

True North’s Eilidh Whiteford shares her key takeaways from the King’s Speech this afternoon and highlights everything you need to know about the 39 new Bills announced. The majority of MPs who crowded into the House of Lords’ lobby this morning to listen to the King’s Speech are new to parliament and could probably be forgiven for feeling a bit bemused by the arcane pageantry on display. However, the 39 new Bills announced will be keeping them extremely busy over the coming months.

The dust has settled on the general election and, following a disciplined and professionally executed campaign, voters overwhelmingly opted for the “change” Labour offered. The party corralled its pitch around five “missions”, the most hotly debated of which was the pledge to make Britain a clean energy superpower. To ensure this mission is accomplished, Sir Keir Starmer said his government will establish GB Energy, a state-backed energy company, here in Scotland.
