It’s impossible to say anything polite about Mr Miliband’s politicking

Friday, June 12, 2026 12:49

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Andrew Montford has an interesting Net Zero Watch piece on the cynical way Ed Miliband disguises the costs of Net Zero.

The cynicism of the Secretary of State

Ed Miliband’s decision, announced towards the end of last year, to move three quarters of the cost of Renewables Obligation subsidies to general taxation was a move of profound political cynicism. In this post, I’ll try to explain why.

At first sight the move was an attempt to relieve the cost-of-living burden on consumers, albeit a moderately duplicitous one in that it simply shifted the burden from a household’s electricity bill to its tax bill. However, the decision to move only three quarters of the cost seemed strange – why not all of it?

The whole piece is well worth reading as yet another insight into Keir Starmer’s choice for the role of Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.

It’s impossible to say anything polite about Mr Miliband’s politicking. The story reveals a man whose objective has been to screw the public, to disguise the fact that he is doing so, and then to leave a depth charge for the next government, apparently for his own entertainment. It’s the kind of thing that might seem clever to a student politician, but is simply unbecoming for a minister of the Crown.
