Labour’s Energy Secretary is a total liability. He shouldn’t be in government, let alone in charge of something as vital as the UK’s energy system. His lunatic net zero charge is destroying jobs and businesses, and forcing the economy its knees. No serious country would put someone like this in charge of national infrastructure. Yet Keir Starmer did.

Voters already had their say on Miliband in 2015, when he led Labour to electoral annihilation. Unfortunately, Starmer has rewarded serial failure by handing him one of the most important jobs in government. It’s yet another act of economic self-sabotage by our useless PM.

Miliband is playing ideological games with the nation’s prosperity, and like Starmer and Reeves, he can only justify what he’s doing by telling bare-faced lies to our faces.

During the election campaign, he repeatedly claimed his Clean Power 2030 mission would cut £300 off the average household energy bill. Here’s what’s actually happened.

When Labour took power in July 2024, the energy price cap for a typical dual-fuel household was £1,568. Today it’s £1,755. That’s a rise of £187, despite wholesale gas prices actually falling over the same period. Worse, the cost is only going to grow.
