Sir Keir Starmer has criticised the absence of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the World Economic Forum in Davos and called for a “clean power alliance” of countries who want to accelerate action on climate change and bring down energy prices.

With a general election expected in the next 18 months, the leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party set his stall out in Switzerland on Thursday and said his presence, along with shadow chancellor of the exchequer Rachel Reeves was a “statement of intent.”
