British government in bed with E.On, literally
Ed Miliband’s live in girl friend is no less than Justine Thornton, an an energy and planning expert lawyer who is, according to the barristers’ bible, the “preferred counsel of E.On”.
So what? Well…
Ed Miliband is the Energy Secretary, in charge of the British government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and E.On are an enormous German company lobbying Miliband’s department hard for a £20 billion nuclear power deal and to build the first coal-fired power station in the UK for over 30 years (Kinsnorth).
E.On are champions of green wash, despite what the advertisement campaigns and their “Climate & Renewables” department may have told you they are actually actively lobbying hard against renewable energy like wind and solar.
In Miliband’s declaration for the register of ministers’ interests he kept the identity of his girlfriend a secret from the media, but we all now know who she is.
