Mr Corbyn restated Labour’s support for schemes such as a Swansea tidal lagoon ahead of a visit to Machynlleth, Powys. He accused the UK government of a “failed approach” to climate change. Mr Corbyn said Labour in power at Westminster would follow the Welsh Government’s lead on energy efficiency and in declaring a climate emergency. Labour’s energy plans – outlined by Mr Corbyn at last year’s party conference – would also see the National Grid taken into public ownership and solar panels installed on nearly two million homes. Speaking before a visit to the Centre for Alternative Technology on Friday, Mr Corbyn said: “The next Labour government will turn the Tories’ failed approach on its head with a green industrial revolution to tackle the climate emergency, create hundreds of thousands of good green jobs in every region and nation of our country and save millions of households money on their bills.”
