Labour leader Ed Miliband has praised previous Tory ministers for their commitment to the environment, while criticizing the current government's shift away from net zero policies. Miliband emphasized that this turn against environmental policies could alienate voters. In addition, Labour leader has announced a plan to address the sewage pollution crisis affecting rivers in the north of England. The plan includes putting failing water companies under special measures to ensure they clean up the pollution, protect public health, and safeguard natural landscapes. Labour's plan also aims to stop bonuses for water company executives and protect the seas. Miliband also heaped praise on Labour's manifesto but stopped short of full support.
