Ed Miliband admits fuel bills promise won't happen until 2030
Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband leaves 10 Downing Street, London, following a Cabinet meeting, November 5, 2024

ED MILIBAND said Labour’s pledge to cut average energy bills by £300 will not happen until 2030 — after being shown a video of a woman dying of cancer whose winter fuel payments were cut.

The Energy Secretary was grilled over the promise made during Labour’s general election campaign on ITV’s Good Morning Britain today.

He said: “We set that out for 2030. It was an independent set of modelling that said that bills could go down by about £300.”
