Ed Miliband's net zero boss has an annual salary equivalent to ￡255,000 (Image: Getty)
Labour is facing a backlash over a key net zero role being advertised with an annual salary equivalent to ￡255,000. The Chair of the Low Carbon Contracts Company, sponsored by Ed Miliband's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, would earn ￡102,500 a year to work two days a week.
It is equivalent to a full-time salary of ￡255,000. But the job advert has sparked a backlash from politicians and campaigners.

Tory peer Lord Mackinlay, who chairs the Net Zero Scrutiny Group, told GB News: "The LCCC is yet another Government quango few will have heard of which is merrily adding to the black hole of Net Zero waste.
"This latest advertised role of chairman at a huge part-time salary speaks volumes about their approach.

"It’s high time these extraordinary pay packets and woke non-jobs were scrapped and precious resources focused on frontline services.”
A Government spokesman said: "The role represents good value for money as the chair plays a crucial role in the LCCC and ESC Board.
"One of the Board’s responsibilities is to deal with legal challenges, which if not handled correctly could have multiple million-pound cost implications."
