Miliband has been relentlessly attacked for net zero; what will happen now?

“Whenever the Labour party feels a bit sad,” according to one close observer of the current government, speaking some months ago, “they wheel out Ed Miliband to talk about rooftop solar.” It might not have been literally true, but it often felt during Keir Starmer’s premiership as if energy secretary Miliband brought the sun. Unfailingly upbeat, with a simple message that was understandable to voters, he had a clear mission – to decarbonise the UK’s power sector by 2030 – that was seen to be progressing fast. While the Treasury struggled with feeble growth and political gaffes such as the winter fuel payments, the NHS was disrupted by doctors’ strikes, and education laboured under dilapidated schools and discouraged teachers, Miliband’s department seemed to get stuff done at an unusual rate. “His detractors won’t like to admit it, but Miliband has been the most successful minister under the Starmer administration,” says Ed Matthew, the UK director at the E3G thinktank. “Perhaps that is why they have attacked him so viciously.” Rightwing media publications have published frequent editorials attacking Miliband, labelling him a “net-zero zealot” with a “messianic” devotion to climate action. Even as three intense heatwaves struck this summer and firefighters battled wildfires across the country, the calls for more drilling for the fossil fuels that are supercharging extreme weather got louder. The fossil fuel industry, along with the Conservatives, Reform UK and sections of the Labour party, has been lobbying Andy Burnham, the new prime minister, for the Jackdaw gasfield, east of Aberdeen, and Rosebank, an oilfield west of Shetland, to be given the go-ahead. Media reports suggested Burnham was preparing to announce new drilling in the North Sea shortly after entering No 10. View image in fullscreen Ed Miliband, seen here in 2009 at the Little Cheyne Court windfarm in Kent, was also energy secretary under Gordon Brown. Photograph: Graeme Robertson/The Guardian Miliband may be personally disappointed if Burnham does this, having previously described Rosebank as “climate vandalism”. Miliband was also behind the push to have no new licences as a manifesto commitment. But giving the go-ahead to Jackdaw or Rosebank would not technically breach the manifesto ban, which left a loophole for the issue of licences that were already within the planning system. For some months, it has been clear that some such compromise might be demanded and the ground has been prepared. One close civil society observer, who did not wish to be named, said: “It is not what we wanted, but we have to get on with the rest of what’s needed.” That bigger picture has been described as “an energy revolution”, the trajectory of which is unstoppable, whatever the changing political weather. Matthew said: “Setting the 2030 clean power target was less about meeting the target than setting turbo boosters under the clean economy to get lift-off – which [Miliband] has achieved with record levels of renewables contracts and reforms to massively speed up deployment. This is critical to economic growth, reindustrialisation, energy security and, yes, bringing down bills. This is an energy revolution which is now inevitable and no amount of grumbling by the politicians and media barons funded by fossil fuel interests can reverse it.” Now Miliband has moved beyond the energy department to the Foreign Office. He has always had an eye on the global aspects of this transition, acting as a powerful voice at climate summits and arguing for change. He will bring his climate knowledge and undoubted energies to bear on this role. After all, within 72 hours of taking office in the energy department in July 2024, Miliband had lifted the ban on onshore windfarms and begun the process of consenting offshore windfarms and solar farms, while reforming a previously chaotic queue for grid connections. Auctions for low-carbon generation secured enough to supply about 23m homes, while the warm homes plan to install insulation, heat pumps and clean energy should lift about 1 million families out of fuel poverty. A new nuclear programme for small modular reactors is also under way. Last month, the government announced that the private sector had committed about £100bn to the UK’s clean technology sector. Alongside that, there is a plan to support 400,000 people into low-carbon jobs – more than double the number employed in the rapidly declining North Sea basin. View image in fullscreen Ed Miliband and Bridget Phillipson take a look at a solar installation on the roof of a school in Sheffield. Photograph: Zara Farrar/DESNZ It is curious why Miliband, a former Labour leader who lost to the Conservatives in 2015, has also been the target of unrelenting internal negative briefing. Some of it comes from his long history, stretching back to his role as one of former prime minister Gordon Brown’s proteges in the early 2000s. But other factions also pitched in. He is popular with Labour members, which may irk some. “At a time when lots of people want to say ‘a plague on all your houses’ about politicians, Miliband stands out as a rare example of someone who’s actually made a difference,” says Craig Bennett, the chief executive of the Wildlife Trusts. “So much of that has down been down to his genuine leadership and having a real sense of purpose and vision behind it, and determination to get on with it, even when you have extraordinarily ridiculous attacks from some parts of the political spectrum.” Attacks on Miliband from other political parties have been equally vituperative: he has been behind only Starmer, and perhaps the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, as one of the key targets of Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader. Nigel Farage and his Reform party have vowed to make net zero “the next Brexit”. And two large unions, Unite and the GMB, launched a fierce campaign against his proposed elevation to chancellor of the exchequer, though other unions backed him. skip past newsletter promotion Free newsletter | Every weekday Sign up to First Edition Our morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters Preview latest Enter your email Sign up after newsletter promotion Ami McCarthy, the head of politics at Greenpeace UK, points to the deep pockets of vested interests and the might of the fossil fuel industry. “It’s no surprise that an agenda which challenges the profits of big oil has made him the target of coordinated smears by the industry and its allies, including the latest attacks we’ve seen this month,” they say. Businesses, led by the CBI, pointed out that the UK’s high energy prices – about 45% above the G7 median – were damaging businesses and dampening growth, as well as raising the cost of living. But as the CBI has made clear, net zero is not the culprit. In fact, energy prices would have been much higher without Miliband’s actions. His reforms add up to about £150 off bills for the average household, while about 6 million families on low incomes will gain about £150 more through the warm homes discount. The problem is that people are not seeing the result in their pockets, because fossil fuel prices have risen even faster, through the compound shocks of the Ukraine invasion and the Iran war, which have sent gas and oil prices soaring. Added to this are the rules Labour inherited governing the UK’s privatised power market, which mean that the price of electricity is set by gas-fired power stations, which can be highly profitable for them but disastrous for consumers. Miliband has been trying to wean the UK off fossil fuels, to cheap renewable energy. This will require more investment, particularly in the grid. And the government is intent on decoupling gas and electricity prices, but this is proving a tough and slow process. If he had been made chancellor, as was rumoured at one point, Miliband could have been expected to tackle this. But John Healey, previously the defence secretary, may have less enthusiasm for that fight. His move to the Foreign Office will prevent Miliband from following through on this project, and it remains to be seen whether his replacement, Miatta Fahnbulleh, will continue it with such enthusiasm. But it will cheer many of his international allies; the fight to limit the climate crisis is a global one, and the US departure from the field, coupled with uncertainty in Europe, and China and India’s flirtations with Russia, have left a leadership vacuum. Mohamed Adow, the director of the Power Shift Africa thinktank, says: “On the international stage, Miliband is seen as someone who understands that ambitious climate action and economic renewal can go hand in hand. Climate diplomacy is built on relationships, trust and persistence, and countries notice when senior ministers are prepared to engage directly. Putting [him] at the heart of government would send a positive signal to the rest of the world.” Teresa Ribera, a vice-president of the European Commission responsible for green transition, has been a close ally since Miliband began his first stint as energy secretary in 2008. “He is, by some distance, one of the most skilful and respected negotiators I have ever worked with, and one of the most honest and principled politicians I know. He commands respect in international institutions and among the world’s most influential governments, but equally among developing countries, workers, scientists and business and civil society leaders,” she told the Guardian. This will help Britain, and the world, in his new role. “I have absolutely no doubt that he has all the qualities needed to become an outstanding foreign secretary,” says Ribera. “His experience in international climate negotiations, his understanding of the economic and social dimensions of the energy transition, and his unwavering commitment to fairness and social justice make him one of the most valuable figures not only in Brit

Crack and crime to confident and qualified: is the future about to change for Rhyl’s youth?

102 خبر

Killing time playing pool at the West Rhyl youth club, friends Sienna, 19, and Jake, 26, are unanimous when asked what a tour of the north Wales seaside town should look like. “The first place I’d show anyone is ‘Crackhead Circle’,” Sienna says. The small public garden behind the town hall and a paved area by the closed home bargain store Wilko in the adjacent high street host several strung-out characters on a cold February afternoon. Police cars crawl through the area every 15 minutes or so as part of Project Renew, a year-long crackdown on gang activity and drugs. On the seafront, a row of Victorian hotels look out over the milky-green Irish Sea, but their glamour has long faded; the dilapidated buildings now serve as emergency accommodation for the council. Sienna waves at a group of people gathered on the steps of the Westminster hotel as she walks past. Her family moved around a lot before coming to Rhyl a few years ago. They lived at the hotel when they arrived. View image in fullscreen Sienna and Jake in one of Rhyl’s amusement arcades. ‘My mates who have jobs are all working part-time,’ she says She is a gifted athlete, but a basketball injury that required major surgery on her leg interfered with her education, pursuing sports and entering the world of work. Q&A What is the Against the tide series? Show Over the next year, the Against the Tide project from the Guardian’s Seascape team will be reporting on the lives of young people in coastal communities across England and Wales. Young people in many of England's coastal towns are disproportionately likely to face poverty, poor housing, lower educational attainment and employment opportunities than their peers in equivalent inland areas. In the most deprived coastal towns they can be left to struggle with crumbling and stripped-back public services and transport that limit their life choices. For the next 12 months, accompanied by the documentary photographer Polly Braden, we will travel up and down the country to port towns, seaside resorts and former fishing villages to ask 16- to 25-year-olds to tell us about their lives and how they feel about the places they live. By putting their voices at the front and centre of our reporting, we want to examine what kind of changes they need to build the futures they want for themselves. Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback. “It has been difficult to settle down here,” she says. “I don’t think it’s that dangerous, but you have to be careful by the bus station.” Rhyl West has topped deprivation tables in Wales for decades. Drugs and violence are significant problems in the once elegant holiday town; the ward has a crime rate of 197 for every 1,000 people – about 2.5 times the average for Wales. The violent crime rate is 88 for every 1,000, or more than double Wales’ average. View image in fullscreen Donna and Chris, both youth workers, talking to young people in the town centre about what opportunities exist in the resort The town’s young people, like so many others in coastal communities in England and Wales, leave school and often find themselves faced with few opportunities for work and little chance of finding somewhere affordable to live. “My mates who have jobs are all working part-time in shops or deliveries or tourism,” says Sienna. “Almost no one can afford to move out from their parents and get their own place. They can’t afford to leave either.” double quotation mark Our issue in Rhyl is getting people into work. Many young people lack the basics Melanie Evans, Working Denbighshire Sienna has a fiance in Northern Ireland but she does not have the money to see him very often. “We haven’t figured out how we can be together yet.” But there are tentative signs that the tide may finally be turning for Rhyl. Project Renew is working – in January, North Wales police said crime was down 14% on a year ago – and everyone the Guardian met agreed there is less drug use on the street. Years of construction work on the promenade finally finished last summer, the nearby Queen’s Market food hall, waterpark and cinema have all been recently revamped, and a neighbourhood board has been put together to decide how to spend millions allocated through the government’s Pride in Place funding. View image in fullscreen The Westminster hotel, where Sienna and her family lived for more than a year after moving to Rhyl. Several of the town’s old hotels now serve as temporary council accommodation Pride in Place, Labour’s answer to the Conservatives’ levelling up strategy, has awarded hundreds of places, many of them coastal, with £20m. The proviso is that local people, the MP, the council, businesses and community organisations must all work together on how best to spend it. Gill German, MP for Clwyd North, is keen that young people in Rhyl are involved in that process. “The youth service consulted 600 young people about what they need,” she says. “They [the young people] still don’t think the beach belongs to them – they think it’s for tourists – so we need to try to make sure they start feeling the benefits of living by the sea and those wellbeing factors [associated with that].” double quotation mark If you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same results. We needed to do something different Melanie Evans, Working Denbighshire Researchers from University College London recently travelled up and down the English coast talking to local people for their Coastal Youth Life Chances project and concluded that one of the things that would make a difference to young people in seaside communities would be to include them in planning and decision-making. “We’ve managed to get more young people on Our Rhyl [the Pride in Place board],” says German. “Hopefully that will start connecting them to the growing opportunities [in Rhyl].” Rhyl is unusual in that it is youthful in comparison to most UK coastal towns. It is also an outlier in that the unemployment rate in Denbighshire is 4.8%, lower than the UK average of 5.2%, even though coastal areas tend to have more people out of work. “Our issue in Rhyl is getting people into work,” says Melanie Evans, of Working Denbighshire. “Many young people lack the basics, such as knowing how to talk to people in a workplace or an office, or how to dress. Those are skills we are teaching.” In 2017, Working Denbighshire consolidated more than a dozen funding streams from the Welsh government and Westminster into one pool, making it simpler to coordinate services and channel money to where it is needed most. View image in fullscreen Old photographs of Rhyl in its heyday, when it was a thriving resort for visitors from Merseyside The results are clear. In 2021, Project Barod was launched – Barod means “ready” in Welsh – offering one-to-one mentoring support in helping find work or training, workshops to help build confidence and skills, such as cooking classes and beach clean-ups, as well as classes in reading, writing and maths. When participants are ready, they can access subsidised work experience, and the project also supports people struggling to hold down a job, and those who want to retrain. double quotation mark It’s tough working with short-term funding … That lack of certainty makes it harder because young people can’t rely on us Jay McGuinness “Our thinking was: if you’re going to keep doing the same thing, you’re going to keep getting the same results,” says Evans. “We needed to do something different to break the cycle of poverty.” The number of people in education or training after support from Working Denbighshire in the first half of the 2025-26 financial year was 163, up 233% on the department’s target of 70, with 38% of those helped aged 16 to 24, by far the biggest demographic group. By his own admission, Luke, 19, did not enjoy school, and had no idea what he wanted to do when he left. After quitting a job he hated at a clothes shop, he was referred to Barod by the jobcentre. Over the past year the programme has helped him study for a roofing qualification and find work as an apprentice. View image in fullscreen Florence and another trainee flanking Steve Baxendale.
