"Political Turmoil: Labour's Shift on Climate and Rishi Sunak's Opportunity"

Ed Miliband, Labour's shadow net zero secretary, has stated that he did not consider resigning over the party's decision to abandon its pledge to spend £28bn a year on green projects.

He has publicly supported Labour leader Keir Starmer's decision, emphasizing the party's commitment to investing in the country's future and making a difference.
