Is Ed Miliband actually the most powerful man in the UK government? 🇬🇧

In this episode of the Whitehall Sources podcast, Calum Macdonald and Jo Tanner sit down with Will Lloyd, Deputy Editor at the New Statesman, to discuss his explosive deep-dive into the "Milibandism" taking over Westminster.

While the headlines focus on Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, it’s the Energy Secretary who is quietly reshaping the British economy. We explore:

• The Gordon Brown Connection: How Miliband’s 10 years as a Treasury advisor shaped his "steely core."
• The "Millie-Fan" Renaissance: Why he is the most popular cabinet minister among Labour members.
• The Energy Gamble: Is his 2030 Net Zero target a visionary move or a political suicide mission?
• The Battle with Trump & Farage: Why Labour wants a fight over green energy.
