Ed Miliband accuses the government of ‘total complacency’ on climate after Goldsmith resignation and Deben report

At energy security and net zero department questions this morning, Labour spokesperson Ed Miliband challenged the secretary of state Grant shapes over the government’s climate commitments.

Mr Miliband said: “That’s why Lord Goldsmith resigned. Lord Deben says he’s failing, the right honourable member for Maidenhead says we are losing the global race. Isn’t the truth that now even the Tories don’t trust the Tories on the climate crisis?”.

Mr Shapes responded by accusing Mr Miliband of subscribing to the “Just Stop Oil approach” on climate policy.
