LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer will travel to North Wales with Wales' new First Minister Vaughan Gething.
On his first joint visit with new Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething today (Monday, March 25), Sir Keir will pledge to “turbocharge jobs and growth” for Wales with GB Energy, a plan to boost homegrown green power including wind farms and carbon capture.
Ahead of the trip, Sir Keir said: “In an increasingly insecure world, with tyrants using energy as an economic weapon, Britain must take back control of our national energy security.

“After 14 years of a Tory Government kowtowing to fossil fuel dictators, Labour’s plan for energy independence would get Putin’s boot off our throat and power up communities across Britain.”
Mr Gething, 50, was sworn in as the First Minister of Wales last Wednesday. He succeeds Mark Drakeford, who resigned in an emotional speech on Tuesday after holding the position since 2018.
It has not been disclosed where in North Wales the politicians are visiting.
