Ed Miliband will be one of the few ministers around the Cabinet table with previous senior government experience.
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband has been appointed Secretary of Energy Security and Net Zero, returning to Government in essentially the role he held 14 years ago.
Labour has put clean energy as one of its central missions for government, in a bid to end high bills “for good”, creating a clear dividing line with the Tories who had rowed back on commitments to shift the country to net zero emissions.Miliband is now tasked with delivering on the manifesto pledges to establish a publicly owned Great British Energy company, with £8.
But for some, Miliband's appointment to the prime minister's cabinet will come as a surprise, given his defeat by David Cameron's Tory party in the 2015 general election, where the Tories received a minor 12-seat majority while Labour was virtually wiped out in Scotland by the SNP.After losing the 2015 election, Miliband was replaced by Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.
Industry body RenewableUK’s chief executive Dan McGrail said Labour should take steps in the coming weeks to make it clear they intend to deliver on their clean energy mission.
