Ed Miliband

Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2026

Debate

Middle East Conflict: Energy Security

Contribution

No, it is not. The hon. Gentleman is entitled to his own opinions, but he is not entitled to alternative facts. What the last Government said, what this Government said and what every sensible economist says about more production is that his idea of more drilling—“drill every last drop,” or “drill, baby, drill”— would be precisely the wrong thing for our country because it will make no difference to the price. The answer is home-grown clean renewables that we control.
