Ed Miliband was for a decade Brown’s special adviser – in the habit in those years, as he writes here, of unplugging all his phones on weekend mornings to avoid another lecture from his boss. His book, which originates from a podcast called Reasons to Be Cheerful that he co-launched with radio presenter Geoff Lloyd in autumn 2017, is chattier than that of his former mentor, more anecdotal in its approach to saving the world (in the advance publicity for the book you could be forgiven for believing it was a memoir about how Miliband came late to learning to ride a bike but now has the zeal of the converted).

Alastair Campbell: Depression and Me, BBC Two review - is there an alternative to a life on anti-depressants? Miliband is of Jewish heritage — the first ethnically Jewish leader of the Labour Party [170] [171] — and describes himself as a Jewish atheist. [172] [173] After marrying Thornton in a civil ceremony on 27 May 2011, he paid tribute to his Jewish heritage by following the tradition of breaking a glass. [174] [175] In 2012, Miliband wrote, "Like many others from Holocaust families, I have a paradoxical relationship with this history. On one level I feel intimately connected with it – this happened to my parents and grandparents. On another, it feels like a totally different world." [176] Styles [ edit ]

In March 2009, while Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Miliband attended the UK premiere of climate change film The Age of Stupid, where he was ambushed by actor Pete Postlethwaite, who threatened to return his OBE and vote for any party other than Labour if the Kingsnorth coal-fired power station were to be given the go-ahead by the government. [34] A month later, Miliband announced to the House of Commons a change to the government's policy on coal-fired power stations, saying that any potential new coal-fired power stations would be unable to receive government consent unless they could demonstrate that they would be able to effectively capture and bury 25% of the emissions they produce immediately, with a view to seeing that rise to 100% of emissions by 2025. This, a government source told the Guardian, effectively represented "a complete rewrite of UK energy policy for the future". [35]
