Ed Miliband has been accused of 'rank hypocrisy' following revelations about his department's flying habits – just as he goes on manoeuvres to try to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.
Flight logs obtained by The Mail on Sunday show the Energy Secretary's ministers boarded 24 domestic flights in under a year, including journeys such as Bristol to Glasgow which can be made for £40 by train.
Mr Miliband, who has boasted about how he defied the PM's bids to sack him in this month's reshuffle, has led the Government's drive to impose crippling Net Zero policies on already struggling businesses.
'Red Ed' has said he would like to end domestic flights 'as much as we possibly can' and has advocated for others to avoid air travel in favour of greener alternatives.
When in government, the Tories came under fire from Labour for using government jets to fly around the country.
