ed miliband auoin in have promised more... ed miliband going in and — have promised more...ised more... ed miliband going in and the foreign secretary, | going in and the foreign secretary, david lammy, also going in. ed miliband saying jokingly that they are all surprised that there is a labour victory, of course, reflecting on his attempt to get into number ten. gus o'donnell, you mentioned the round of international calls, i was reading tom fletcher posting about this. he worked in number ten back in 2010, he talked about the nerve—racking moment trying to line up a call with president 0bama and fudged the line, told david cameron that the call would come in there and held in his hand —— held his head in his hand. how important are those reset moments, do you think? thea;r how important are those reset moments, do you think? they are very im ortant. moments, do you think? they are very important- this — moments, do you think? they are very important. this quite _ moments, do you think? they are very important. this quite often _ moments, do you think? they are very import

. >> ed miliband has gone feral. is he about to cost the taxpayer tens of billions of pounds plus he . tens of billions of pounds plus he. has tens of billions of pounds plus he . has people prisoners on he. has people prisoners on early release will be back out and about soon. will labour make britain less safe? and this lot of illegal immigrants are on the way? yeah, there we go . footage way? yeah, there we go. footage emerges of migrants getting violent as they try to cross the border into europe. there'll be more of that on the way very, very shortly. using weapons as they go. >> plus, i swear by almighty god that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty, the king charles. >> is there trouble at the heart of reform? there's been a big internal fallout. i will reveal all. >> also look at her voting record. she is just a party stooge. she voted for all theresa may's deals. she voted for more net zero. >> well, sir graham brady, the former power broker to the tory party, will be live in the studio

it looks as though ed miliband was on the bnnk though ed miliband was on the brink of costing the british tens of billions of pounds just a week after taking his position in the cabinet. mr miliband is already the most expensive policymaker in british history. in 2008, he pushed through the final version of the climate change act. it made us the only country in the world legally committed to cutting our emissions of co2 by 80% between then and 2050. even then, the government projected that this would cost us up to £734 billion. the latest figures suggest that for britain to reach this target , it would now reach this target, it would now cost even more. around £1,300 billion. mr miliband is of course, reluctant to put his own money where his considerable mouth is. here he is being asked about electric cars. >> seem you've got one. >> seem you've got one. >> i haven't yet. it's a work in progress. >> what practice? what you preach. >> it's a work in progress. i we're actually on our way to buying one before lockdown . it buying one before lockdown. it is going to happen, i promise you. i h

so but then you've got the actual liability factor of ed miliband, the tories did a jig ed miliband,ies did a jig of delight when he became leader of the labour party back in 2010, and he should have done the job of an interim leader of the job of an interim leader of the party. he should have closed the party. he should have closed the gap on a coalition. so it wasn't even a strong government. it was a coalition. he failed to close that gap and he landed in with an even bigger defeat in 2015. so the man is a liability and he's showing it even more now because, as i understand it, we're going to be paying norway £14 billion for energy. they're going to be getting from, from from our own oil resources. i mean , how can that possibly mean, how can that possibly amount to any, any kind of common sense economically? and if given that labour, labour governments have historically had trouble convincing the electorate that they can be trusted on the economy, this isn't a very good start. >> labour would argue , alex, >> labour would argue, alex, that if you're going to have a green revoluti

ed miliband not his brother dave who he who ed miliband i think drove dave out of business.we're over that. >> let's move on. >>— >> let's move on. >> i guess that's years ago. well, it's still painful. if my brother drove me out. yeah. the truth is, is that, is that this is part of the labour team world plan to bankrupt britain. this is just. plan to bankrupt britain. this isjust. let's plan to bankrupt britain. this is just. let's stop britain from making any money, okay? >> to tell you that further, this is going to cost the uk, people arguably billions of pounds, right? >> yes. not me. i'm not paying . >> yes. not me. i'm not paying. >> yes. not me. i'm not paying. >> no, but we're not going to have 75% of our oil and gas comes from abroad. so it's giving us less control. i don't understand how they're framing it, that this puts us more in control by. that's the way it's been framed, right? that this actually this decision puts us more in control. i don't i read through it. >> i don't fully understand why it does or why. well, you know, or whether we end up stopping or r

, i know ed miliband really well.ys are two different parties, but you know there's a respect and i think building that respect, having a good relationship is really important. do i think we're going back to where we were before? i actually would say we are never going back to where we were before. so if that reassures you, that reassures other people. sure. you know, i think susie makes a really, really good point there. >> and also, i think it's in labour's interest not to open up that old wound, because obviously, although the big headune obviously, although the big headline from the general election was that the conservatives got absolutely pulverised and i'm very sad to say, but there were many seats where reform were massively eating into the labour vote to. there were a great many, even labour frontbenchers who only narrowly won in 2019 because the brexit party, they didn't have the brexit party took so many votes away. people like yvette cooper and bridget phillipson held on by a whisker. so i'm not sure it's

the consequences of this decision by ed miliband , ed miliband, >> well, i think you've touched on mostf the major points already. this this policy has, as far as i can see, no redeeming features whatsoever, i think i think , it's going to think i think, it's going to increase carbon emissions because we're going to be shipping all this oil in from from far away, it's going to reduce tax revenues, not just from the oil companies themselves, but all the people , themselves, but all the people, who the oil companies employ. and in the service industries that help the, the industry, they're going to be chucked on they're going to be chucked on the scrap heap. so they're not going to be paying taxes either. i think quite an interesting, aspect of this is that all those people whose jobs are now threatened will be talking to their trade unions and saying, oh, you guys, you know, why have you been supporting the labour party who are trying to put us out of a job, i think i think we could well see a rift between, some of the major trade unions and the labour party. i think that's going to be q

we just broke ed miliband as energy secretary. ed miliband.een levies on every household bill. this has stuck in the craw of a lot of people out there who are very worried their bills are going to go up because of green taxes. and now ed miliband, he's been given the job. he'll be in charge of the drive to net zero, and that could cost taxpayers a heck of a lot of money. >> yeah, i mean, i'm a big fan of a band, known him a long time. >> i think it's really important actually. when we look at these people, it's fascinating because there's only a few that have actually been in government before, you know, because obviously it's been so long. >> and ed miliband is one of them. >> you know, i think when i first met him back in two thousand and seven, he was for a sector minister. and i think that experience is really important. and coming to what you're saying, i mean, look, i just think it's so important that we do have a vision for green energy. and actually, let's look at the positive side of this. we're going to invest in green energy. it's g

, i know ed miliband really well.u guys are two different parties, but you know there's a respect and i think building that respect, having a good relationship is really important. do i think we're going back to where we were before? i actually would say we are never going back to where we were before. so if that reassures you, that reassures other people. sure. you know, i think susie makes a really, really good point there. >> and also, i think it's in labour's interest not to open up that old wound, because obviously, although the big headune obviously, although the big headline from the general election was that the conservatives got absolutely pulverised and i'm very sad to say, but there were many seats where reform were massively eating into the labour vote to. there were a great many, even labour frontbenchers who only narrowly won in 2019 because the brexit party, they didn't have the brexit party took so many votes away. people like yvette cooper and bridget phillipson held on by a whisker. so i'm not sure i

that man, ed miliband.ound of drilling that was due to happen within the next few weeks, will now not go ahead with immediate effect. this has taken a lot of people by surprise. i'm joined in the studio by our political correspondent , olivia utley. correspondent, olivia utley. olivia. it didn't take him long, did it? a lot of people, of course, said ed miliband, known for his net zero sir davey. he was the guy responsible for green taxes on every single bill in britain. but even this decision seems to have taken a lot of people by surprise. tell us all about it. >> well, it was in the manifesto that the labour party was going to stop new licences for drilling in the north sea, and it was also technically in the manifesto, buried pretty deep in the manifesto on page 52, that the manifesto on page 52, that the labour party would actually withdraw licences which were in the process of being granted by the process of being granted by the conservative government. but of course, no one knew when the election was

>> also the same way that ed miliband beat out his very popular brother david miliband. guess why?ecause the unions were in. >> that's another thing as well. it's worth noting keeping an eye on ed miliband wants all the money in the world to do what he wants to do. we've got a clip of him later on in the show. by the way. nugget himself on the ukulele. they certainly want all the money we've got him and he wants all the money. okay. and then and then we've got as well. you know, a couple of other people knocking about there in the labour party. we've got a vote on the two child benefits cap that is being brought essentially against the labour party by itself. and that's going to happen in the next couple of weeks. it is. it's exciting stuff. >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say that this could actually be their strategy behind closed doors? the whole good cop bad cop thing. the unions need some to feel like they've got someone on the inside advocating for them. and angela, no one's buying it. no one's buying it. angela rayner was an excell

started started arriving and ed miliband, they were hugging in the street.ill at the sort of hugging, hugging, smiling stage, i would say, of this new parliament. and also keir starmer has talked about setting up this new council of the nations and regions, hasn't he? so it sounds like those, those mayors who have complained about being kind of locked out of downing street under the previous government are going to have a sort of open invitation to turn up more often. yeah. interesting to see what actually happens with devolution, because the labour manifesto talks about doing it in quite a quite a big way. and also, well, how do you do devolution in areas that don't have metro mayors, for example. and it's also the handing over of power. i mean, no politician likes handing over power, really, do they? so, you know, it's it will be seen now that sir keir starmer is in with his massive majority, you know, will he still do that. you know devolving power away from whitehall and, you know, diminishing your own power up to a point, isn't it? but they feel that th

the conservative party have called the government plans "a gimmick", but energy secretary ed miliband". the mandate on which this government was elected was to make us what we call a clean energy superpower, to drive forward investment in renewables, in nuclear, in clean energy, to get off that dependence on fossilfuels. now, gb energy — great british energy — is one of the most important tools in the box to help us do that. a publicly—owned energy generation company, investing in that clean power to get us off our dependence on fossil fuels, create good jobs and, frankly, generate wealth for the country. fraser stewart works for the independent, not—for—profit energy research organisation regen, where he leads work on making the transition to net zero work for communities. thank you for being with us. we were hearing in the report the government is committing 8.3 billion to this idea. but actually, 60 billion is needed from private investment and there are questions around whether that money is going to be readily available. what is your view on that? so available. what is your view

miliband has gone solar crazy.t going to cover the farmland in solar panels, he's going to cover every single roof in the country with solar panels. now, you know, we don't all hate solar just because it's all hate solarjust because it's terribly inefficient and expensive and mostly made in china. you know, it's cool, solar is cool. but, you know, i think ed's got a little bit carried away with solar this week. he's been in office for a week. he's been in office for a week. and you know, this this rooftop revolution is, you know, it will not be televised. unless we can actually get some power . we can actually get some power. >> well, we'll still have wind farms, so that'll cheer you right up. we've got on land. wind farms are back in the in the fray now. >> and off coast as well. i mean, hopefully we can get enough concrete and transports fuelled by, you know, traditional methods to deliver these things and get them up. but yeah, you sound sceptical. >> for a differing opinion. nick, what's your take on this ? nic

ed miliband, for celebration. ed miliband, for example, is no great entrepreneur.boy trotter than alan sugar. this time next year i doubt that we taxpayers will be millionaires . taxpayers will be millionaires. reem ibrahim great british energy. the future for britain. >> terrible idea. no, it's not the future for britain and the point is, as you said in your monologue, the point is that effectively the government don't have to create a business plan for a project that they are funding with our hard earned taxpayer money. i actually think that effectively, governments that effectively, governments that subsidise green and subsidise green energy end up failing entirely. the solution to climate change, and indeed the solution to cheaper energy, is increasing supply. the way we do that is through technological advancements, through the free market. what we need is a great greater capacity for the market. while i would argue for is deregulation of the nuclear energy sector, why is the government got a monopoly on nuclear energy? let companies invest and let us actually

ed miliband, an immediate ban on all new oil drilling in the north sea.cottish economy? the people of aberdeen in particular, is this net zero ideology gone mad? this could have huge consequences. there are businesses who have been putting millions into preparing these bids to try and dig oil, drill oil, and now it could all be, gone. >> well. net zero. well this is this is there were dozens of license applications that were in that were being assessed by civil servants. >> ed miliband has this week told them to down tools, not look at any of these new applications and not take in any more oil. now, this is, in fairness, in the labour party manifesto page 52. if anyone's interested, it says we will not issue new licences to explore new fields. they will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis. in addition, will not grant new coal licences and ban fracking for good. the irony here, of course, is that britain imports a lot of fracked gas from the united states of america. so instead of extracting our own gas here, what we're going to be doing is sendin

you know, ed miliband is here to save us with all this hot air, which is wonderful.looking at a major investment through the crown estates as well into, a wind offshore wind turbines, which will eventually which does a lot of heavy lifting in this policy announcement, 30gw of power, which is about 20 million homes, which is about 20 million homes, which is a drop in the ocean compared to what we actually need.i compared to what we actually need. i don't think this goes anywhere near far enough. it is the link for me with the crown estates who will make money off this, you know, because they get 12% of the revenue on any kind of, kind of land lease, which is what they're doing here. it is. it is interesting because the crown estate jumped on the green bandwagon very, very quickly, you know , it's been one of the you know, it's been one of the reasons that the estate certainly made significant increases in its, in its wealth. and i don't really blame them. this is a cash cow for them. i think from their perspective, this is the right move because it's where the money i

and then also ed miliband, you know, then also ed miliband, you know, the bloke who plays ukulele nearn energy bill saving is a lie. >> so i work for him. and he never played his ukulele anywhere near me. >> well, what does that say? i don't know what that says anyway, but look, you know, this is this is this is ridiculous, isn't it? we've got a clean power lie. we've got a tax lie. we're only over many weeks. >> well, i mean, you know, they are in the two most tory supporting papers there. so, i mean, look, the finances are in a worse state as, as our public services than we than than than than labour feared. so they are going to have to it is true. it's not true. >> do you know why they're called? hold on. do you know why they're called public finances? because they're in the public arena. do you? anybody can google exactly how much the government is spending. that's utter nonsense. there is some surprise that if she if rachel reeves the chancellor didn't know this was coming, then she wasn't doing her job because wasn't doing herjob because it's in the public arena. >> well, not eve

i mean, ed miliband's even trying to promote offshore wind, which is £246 a megawatt.offering for it, i mean, gas at the moment, £65. onshore wind 89, offshore wind 102. i mean, but the big problem is this as we increase wind, we're going to be paying more the constraint payments because we have to pay overnight for all of it, even though we don't use it. and so as we raise that a limit on wind, and we're going to be paying on wind, and we're going to be paying enormous amounts of constraint payments, and besides which, we're having to spend 60 billion to improve the network on the grid. all these are costs coming on the consumer. and what matters in any economy is cheap energy. and we don't have that. >> jim dale , good afternoon. >> jim dale, good afternoon. >> jim dale, good afternoon. >> good afternoon. look, we had a general election, about nine days ago. did we not? and, i think it was a big vote in favour. about 6 to 1 if you if you split the parties from progressive, climate change, green energy , supporters to the green energy, supporters to the other side , w

why can't that go directly to funding ed miliband's £1.5 billion black hole?nto the state. other than the small amount that goes to rebuild buckingham palace, mutaz. if we want any industry, we need cheap energy and we are running a policy that is putting the uk out of business. exactly >> and there is no global warming exemption in the labour manifesto, which said it would reduce energy prices. energy pfices reduce energy prices. energy prices will probably rise as a result of this, but you have to be a real sort of green fanatic like ed miliband to look at the tofu. >> i think he's a full time vegetarian. >> he is he's he's mad. look at the offshore wind. >> very, very charming man. >> very, very charming man. >> he is. he is. i'm talking about his politics. i'm just talking about his diet to look at the offshore wind industry, which is in crisis everywhere, including in the us, where some states are offering $98 per megawatt hour. and i think that's an area where we should invest taxpayer money. and the fact is that an industry that requires such huge subsid

and that is the problem from i mean, i used to work for ed miliband. that is the problem.assionate and committed to this, but it has to be done in a way that delivers, that delivers for people who are worrying about their energy bills. and the problem is the lead time on thatis the problem is the lead time on that is huge, which is why that labouris that is huge, which is why that labour is probably the most populist policy of the election. was it scrapped the tory policy of making you get rid of your boiler, so labour does have a pledge that it won't, it won't make force you to get rid of your gas boiler. >> oh, look, you know, boris johnson went down this route in a very, very big way. and you could argue that much of what miliband is saying is not that different to boris johnson. but the truth is, decarbonising the grid by 20 by 2030 would cost far more for pensioners than losing their winter fuel. well i mean, there are i mean, you know, the truth of the matter is, is if you listen to the people at the sharp end, both the companies themselves, but also the workers via

when you did run for leader back in 2015, after that defeat for ed miliband, whenjeremy corbyn got thew as secretary of state for work and pensions, you use this word "responsibility." is that because you think welfare, benefits is about values and principles, notjust about heart and cash? yeah, i do, i think it's, i think it's about a deal that society does when it works well. and that was what was actually in the original beveridge report. you know, rereading it when i was first appointed to the role in opposition, what's striking to me is that firstly, he says the benefit system alone will never, you know, end the scourge of unemployment, really, and poverty. you've got to work with the nhs to get people back on its feet. you've got to have full and fulfilling employment. but he also says there are responsibilities to, uh, take up jobs when they're offered, to engage with the system. that's my words, not his. and does that sense of responsibility is that rooted in your upbringing? does that come from your parents? yeah. and i'd say, um, i think it's the responsibility not just of in

our energy secretary is ed miliband.n gordon brown's government who pioneered the 2008 legislation committing britain to an 80% cut in co2 emissions. now, subsequent international estimates put our over a £1 trillion cost, making ed miliband the most expensive policymaker in british history. he is now in charge of great british energy, which , according british energy, which, according to a leaked audio clip from shadow chief secretary to the treasury darren jones, will cost hundreds of billions of pounds. >> we're still absolutely committed to it. it's still one of the top five priorities, and it's going to be a huge amount of effort to get there. we'll have to move quite quickly, but a lot of the coverage of the news was about that specific 28, which, because journalists like alex made it sound as if we basically junked the whole thing, but we don't have because some people say that like 28 million isn't enough. no. it's tiny. i've got people who work hundreds of billions of pounds. we need more great starmer will real

but ed miliband, your colleague, already appears to be forcing through a giant solar farm in suffolk,il says it is shocked. are you saying to people today in order to get the economy growing, people are just going to have to suck it up. they're going to have to tolerate things in their local communities that they don't want? we can't carry on like we are. we can't carry on not building energy infrastructure and not building housing, because if we carry on like we are, energy bills are going to continue to go through the roof. we're going to continue to be reliant on putin and dictators around the world for our basic energy needs. and i'm not willing for our country to be at the mercy of dictators in that way, so we have to build... but that means, by implication, people in communities sometimes are just going to have to suck it up. they're going to have to put up with... we are going to have to make tough decisions. to make tough decisions, and i'm not going to shy away from that, because a failure to make those decisions — and some of these decisions were sitting on the previous cons
