Arguing that the UK is failing to take advantage of its own natural resources, Coutinho says \u2018we should be making the most of our resources!\u2019 as concerns over energy security and rising costs continue to dominate the political agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In a heated interview, Dr Stephen Dixon presses Coutinho on the Conservatives\u2019 record during their 14 years in government, challenging whether they bear responsibility for the current state of the UK\u2019s energy policy. \u2018You do hold some responsibility\u2026\u2019 Dixon suggests, prompting a sharp rebuttal from Coutinho: \u2018That\u2019s not true!\u2019 The exchange highlights the ongoing political divide over net zero targets and how best to balance sustainability with energy independence.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation then turns to current Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, with Coutinho delivering a blunt assessment of his leadership. \u2018I do not think Ed Miliband is fit to be Energy Secretary\u2026 he is run by ideology!\u2019 she claims, accusing him of putting political beliefs ahead of practical energy solutions. Coutinho argues that Labour\u2019s stance on net zero and its opposition to North Sea drilling risk undermining the UK\u2019s energy security at a critical time.<\/p>\n<p>#labour  #netzero  #tories  <\/p>\n<p>Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS<\/p>\n<p>Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com\/friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018NO EXCUSE!\u2019 | Tory MP BLASTS Labour for refusing to back down over Net Zero \u2018run by ideology!\u2019&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1251,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[417],"tags":[473,236,3533,3532,442,471,472,38,1612,263,264,3534,31,474,3535,247,475,279,235],"class_list":{"0":"post-1250","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gb-news","8":"tag-analysis","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-claire-coutinho","11":"tag-ed-miliband","12":"tag-gb-news","13":"tag-gb-news-live","14":"tag-gbn","15":"tag-iran","16":"tag-iran-latest","17":"tag-keir-starmer","18":"tag-labour","19":"tag-net-zero","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-news-update","22":"tag-north-sea","23":"tag-politics","24":"tag-reports","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
