Daily Mail – 24 June 2026 – Daily Mail

ANDY Burnham was last night facing demands to rule out appointing Ed Miliband as Chancellor. Senior figures from the world of business joined forces with even Burnham-backing Labour MPs to warn that the Energy Secretary would wreak havoc if he was put in charge of the economy. They predicted he would hike taxes further, as he sought to do as Labour leader more than a decade ago, and further push his Net Zero agenda that has been blamed for destroying jobs and pushing up energy bills.

There are also fears ‘Red Ed’ would seek to borrow billions more in a fresh lurch to the Left, spooking the financial markets. Hotelier Sir Rocco Forte warned: ‘The idea of Ed Miliband becoming Chancellor has sent a shud- der through the business community. ‘He represents exactly the sort of anti-growth, high-tax, anti-enterprise thinking that has held Britain back for far too long.’

Mr Burnham is expected to set out his plans for growth and a promise to keep Rachel Reeves’ fiscal rules next week, in Growing alarm among City leaders over prospect of Burnham installing Left-wing Net Zero zealot Ed Miliband as Chancellor Turn to Page 2 By Martin Beckford, Jason Groves and John-Paul Ford Rojas SEE PAGES 2-3 & SPORT LIONS TAMED! Tuchel’s toothless troops fail to conquer gutsy Ghana Page 2 a speech he hopes will reassure the mar- kets after he caused alarm last year by saying Britain should not be ‘in hock’ to bond traders.

But he has not yet indicated who he wants to install in No 11 Downing Street to replace Ms Reeves, and is believed to be considering candidates from opposite wings of his party Mr Miliband on the Left and Wes Streeting on the Right in what has been seen as an indication that he is yet to settle on an economic policy.

Former Pizza Express entrepreneur Hugh Osmond told the Daily Mail: ‘The two fundamental major costs of almost every product you can buy are labour and energy. Reeves has f***** one and Miliband the other.’ Senior figures remember that in his 2011 Labour conference speech, Mr Miliband branded some businesses ‘predators’. Drinks entrepreneur Steve Perez, founder of Global Brands, said: ‘His manifesto was comprehensively rejected by the electorate and Andy Burnham would be mad to appoint him.’
