Energy Secretary warns of damaging implications
Labour's Ed Miliband has been described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" by Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho. She believes that Miliband's plans for new Net Zero laws could have negative consequences for the UK.
New laws to limit carbon footprint of big companies and banks
The proposed legislation would require large companies and banks to reduce their carbon footprint in line with UN climate goals. Coutinho is concerned that this could lead to job losses and increased costs for consumers.
Risk of 'climate lawfare' and legal actions
Critics of the new laws fear that UK companies could face legal challenges from environmental groups if they fail to meet the targets set out in the legislation. This could further impact businesses in the country.

In response to Coutinho's comments, a Labour spokesman criticized the Conservative government, labelling them a "clown-car government." They argue that only Labour can make the UK energy independent and reduce bills for families.
