Miliband and Rayner join forces to save net zero

  • Angela Rayner and Ed Miliband have launched radical net zero reforms for house building in the UK as of early May 2025.
  • Their initiative follows government goals to implement net zero policies that include increased solar panel use and light regulation on people’s lives.
  • Rayner advocates accelerating the prohibition of gas boilers and mandating the installation of heat pump systems and solar energy equipment in new housing developments, despite forecasts suggesting a shortfall in reaching the target of 1.5 million homes.
  • The policy could increase costs and regulatory burdens for builders and may cause a shortfall of 200,000 homes, potentially affecting Rayner's housing targets.
  • Rayner’s alliance with Miliband highlights internal Labour dynamics and might influence leadership contests amid uncertainty over Starmer’s future as leader.
