ITV’s Good Morning Britain took a tense turn when legal expert Rob Rinder confronted Ed Miliband about his future as the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. The heated exchange occurred as the panel discussed the confirmed expansion of Heathrow Airport, a controversial move that Miliband had previously stated would cause him to resign.
As Miliband addressed the issue, Rinder interjected with pointed questions. “Sorry to interrupt you, the reports made clear that the emissions as such, we’re already at a stage this year through aircraft, that they’re the highest emissions and only going to get more as the year goes on,” Rinder began. “How are they going to meet those standards, the answer is they can never meet those standards and consequently, if the runway does get built and they go ahead, will you resign?”
