What the hell is this headline?
The claim has always been that the planned green energy investments and state-owned company 'Great British Energy' will save 'up to' £300 (compared to 2023 prices) by 2030.
This BBC article from May 2024, before Labour were even in government, confirms this.
There's nothing to "admit" – nothing is being pushed back or watered down. The timeframe has always been 2030.
The £300 estimate actually comes from a non-Labour-affiliated right wing think tank that uses less ambitious modeling than what labour actually wants to put in place. So assuming that goes well, it could be better than £300, or the £300 could be achieved even sooner than 2030, but Labour haven't made any promises about that.
Honestly, sometimes it feels like the supposedly left-wing outlets such as The Morning Star would prefer to have the Tories or Reform in charge than have a Labour government that's not headed by Corbyn.

Of course they would. It's so much easier to be in opposition after all.
