Ed Miliband and Labour officially scrapped plans for zonal electricity pricing, which would’ve meant cheaper bills in areas near renewable sources (like Scotland) and higher costs in energy-hungry regions like the Midlands and South East. Miliband claimed it would be unfair for “one part of the UK to pay more than another” despite Scotland already paying more under the current system. Critics argue this decision locks Scotland into higher bills despite its surplus of clean energy, while protecting southern consumers from price hikes
Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana declared support for the Scottish Parliament’s right to call an independence referendum, directly opposing the Supreme Court’s ruling that Holyrood lacks that power.
