Ed Miliband denies his Net Zero policies are keeping Brits' energy costs high
The Energy Secretary insisted it was 'not correct' to suggest Labour's bid for a decarbonised electricity grid was increasing the burden on families.
But he did offer some hope of relief for hard-pressed households as he hinted Chancellor Rachel Reeves could scrap VAT on energy bills at next month's Budget.
The Government is under fresh pressure over Mr Miliband's green energy drive after household energy bills rose again this month.
The useful aspect of Ed Milband's Net Zero fantasy is the stark exposure it brings to political dishonesty and the importance of factual analysis.
In this respect, Miliband is as useful as Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves because the political message has never been clearer - it is exceedingly foolish to give any credence whatever to their claims.
The other useful aspect is that Miliband highlights a need to be generally sceptical about climate change policies. If someone like Ed is required to push them there is an obvious conclusion to be drawn.
