Labour net zero plan ‘puts UK at China’s mercy’
The Sunday Telegraph reflects on what it calls the “contrasting tones” in the Easter messages of Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer, with the prime minister urging people to “pause and reflect” and the Labour leader saying it is a time of “new beginnings”.
The paper says “it is little wonder” the two statements are so different, with the Conservatives far behind in the polls.
Elsewhere, Labour’s net zero plan makes top of the paper story. Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho, claims Labour’s pledge to convert the UK to clean power by 2030 – five years ahead of the Tories – would leave Britain “over-reliant” on Chinese-made metals, cables and batteries.
