A government minister has confirmed that consumers "won't be buying energy directly" from Labour's new GB Energy body.

Speaking to Sophy Ridge on Sky's Politics Hub show, energy minister Sarah Jones said "a whole different set of companies" will remain responsible for selling energy to households, while GB Energy will be "in the business of generating the energy in the first place".

Ms Jones added that the body will also study the seabed around the UK - which is owned by the Crown - to provide information for wind farms and the companies that will build them.

She hasn’t a clue what she’s talking about. “Generate energy” says the energy minister. Totally ignorant. Energy is used to generate power.
