Miliband Moved Out of Climate Role as Prime Minister Nears Approval of North Sea Oil Drilling He Opposed

Ed Miliband became Foreign Secretary on 20 July 2026, leaving his job in charge of Britain's climate targets. Reports say Prime Minister Andy Burnham is about to approve two North Sea oil and gas projects Miliband called "climate vandalism." The party's promise to block new drilling has a loophole for projects already being planned.
