These are some of the resources available to determine if Ed Miliband can be charged with Misconduct in a Public Office.
Before the 2024 General election he promised to lower average household energy bills by £300. They have risen by about that much and Britain now has the highest electricity prices in the developed world. According to David Turver, who writes on this subject at Eigen Values, it was inevitable that prices would rise because of Miliband’s obsession with ‘renewable energy’ and his refusal to accept evidence which proves him wrong. David covers a wide range of topics which Miliband ought to understand but apparently does not. (6) Eigen Values | David Turver | Substack
Kathryn Porter is an independent energy consultant who knows vastly more about energy production, reliability and cost than Ed Miliband. In this interview she explains why vast costs and black outs are inevitable under Miliband. ‘Blackouts are coming’ | Kathryn Porter on Britain’s Net Zero energy crisis. This next interview is 50 minutes long but it explains in detail why the Iberian Peninsula suffered an electricity blackout of 10 hours earlier this year because of the complications of combining renewables into the grid.

Miliband constantly claims there is a man-made climate crisis. I am quite sure he doesn’t understand the difference between climate (long term) and weather (short term). He blames this alleged crisis on human produced CO2. This website explains why Miliband is wrong. Facts Archive – CO2 Coalition
While campaigning before the election, Miliband pushed the idea of Great British Energy. He claims it is a publicly-owned company which will provide new jobs and cheaper energy. There is something strange here. On the Great British Energy website it claims this –
Miliband intends to spend £22 billion on ‘carbon capture’, which involves sucking CO2 out of the air and storing it underground. I am quite sure that Miliband has done no cost to benefit analysis for this extraordinary expense. He cannot possibly pre-determine the effect of this on the climate.

We are told we have just had the hottest year on record. Such a claim depends on the accuracy of temperature measurements. Official measurements come from the Met Office. It has emerged that many of the weather stations used to calculate temperatures don’t actually exist and many of the real ones are regarded as ‘junk sites’. These are typically sited at airports where jet engines warm the air. (The infamous 40C temperature in 2022 was recorded briefly at RAF Coningsby as two Typhoon jets took off.)

Miliband says he wants to make UK energy home-grown and independent. It is essential to have dispatchable power on standby for when either demand increases or the wind stops blowing. Gas-powered turbines are used to provide this. Miliband has shut down North Sea oil and gas production because it doesn’t fit his Net Zero ideology. We are therefore compelled to buy gas from Norway, which extracts it from below their half of the North Sea. We are using North Sea gas to generate electricity but Miliband is ensuring that the profits and jobs of this endeavour belong to Norway instead of Britain.
Miliband, when challenged, will say there is a legal requirement to become Net Zero, as determined by the Climate Change Act 2008. After this Act was passed, our politicians agreed that they did not know enough about atmospheric physics and meteorology to enact the requirements of the legislation and created the Climate Change Committee to advise them. The irony of passing the Act and then agreeing they know nothing about the subject seems to have passed them by. The Climate Change Committee is said to be independent but it was created to advise on a pre-determined agenda. There is, I believe, a precedent for rejecting Acts of Parliament – the Witchcraft Acts of 1542, and later versions, made something which does not exist (witchcraft) a criminal offence punishable by death. It became law because of the ignorance, superstition and groupthink of politicians. The Climate Change Act became law because of the ignorance, superstition and groupthink of politicians and, in similar fashion, made something which does not exist (a man-made CO2 driven climate crisis) illegal.
