Ed Miliband calls for nationalisation of energy companies

Labour leader says move would help bring down bills and tackle climate change

"We need to take back control of our energy system," Miliband says

Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for the nationalisation of energy companies, saying it would help bring down bills and tackle climate change.

"We need to take back control of our energy system," Miliband said in a speech in London.

"The current system is not working for consumers. Bills are too high, and people are struggling to keep up. We need a new approach that puts the interests of consumers first."

Miliband said that nationalisation would allow the government to invest in renewable energy and create new jobs.

"We need to invest in a clean energy future," he said. "Nationalisation would allow us to do that, and it would create new jobs in the process."

The Labour leader's call for nationalisation has been met with mixed reactions. Some have welcomed the move, saying it would help to bring down bills and tackle climate change.

Others have expressed concerns about the cost of nationalisation and the potential for government interference in the energy market.
