Ed Miliband faced criticism from BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt as he appeared on the program to discuss the Bank of England’s latest forecast. The Bank of England recently downgraded the UK’s expected growth rate for 2025 from 1.5% to 0.75%, citing higher energy and water bills as significant factors contributing to rising inflation.
Stayt took the opportunity to hold Miliband to account over a key promise he had made during the Labour Government’s campaign to reduce energy bills. “That’s not happening, is it?” Stayt asked pointedly, referencing Miliband’s previous commitment to lower energy bills by £300, according to the Express.
