Labour’s shadow climate change and net zero secretary said his party’s commitment to climate leadership is ‘ironclad’.

Ed Miliband has accused the Scottish Government of “broken promises” after it scrapped a key climate change target.

Scottish Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan announced the move to Holyrood on Thursday as she accepted the flagship target is now “out of reach”. Mr Miliband hit out at the Scottish Government’s new targets as he argued Labour’s commitment to climate leadership is “ironclad”. Mr Miliband’s party came under fire earlier this year for scaling back its £28 billion green spending pledge, instead committing to £23.7 billion over the course of the next UK parliamentary term if Labour wins the upcoming election.
