On Easter Sunday, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband launched a blistering attack on Nigel Farage, accusing the Reform UK leader of spreading “nonsense and lies” about the UK’s Net Zero policies. Miliband blasted Farage and the Conservatives for linking Net Zero to the collapse of British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant, the last facility in Britain capable of producing virgin steel.
‘Mad Ed‘, as critics call him, branded Farage a reckless opportunist who would “keep Britain locked in dependence on global markets we don’t control”, “forfeit clean energy jobs” and “sell future generations down the river” by ignoring the “climate breakdown”. His pitch? “Cheap, home-grown” renewables to secure UK jobs and prosperity while also helping save the planet from “climate breakdown”.
