Dismay as Ed Miliband's flagship Net Zero plan spared ahead of spending review
A FLAGSHIP Net Zero plan has been spared ahead of next week's spending review — to opponents' dismay. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ensured his £13billion warm homes scheme will not be downgraded after negotiations with the Treasury. 2 Chancellor Rachel Reeves decided not to cut the cash which allows heating upgrades through better insulation, solar panels and heat pumps.

It is shameful Labour are still not prepared to do the same. Families deserve so much better than being punished with higher costs and higher bills.' Mr Miliband and the Chancellor are understood to have now tied down his department's spending three-year spending plans, The Telegraph reported. Any spending cuts would have slowed down the government's bid to hit Net Zero and also the pledge to bring down energy bills by £300 by the end of the decade. The Home Office and Angela Rayner's housing department are still grappling with the Treasury over cash. Leaked docs exposing true cost of Net Zero 'proves what we all knew all along', MPs blast 2
