has sparked outrage online following his car crash interview on .

Appearing on the ITV show, Miliband faced tough questions from , who focused on the potentially devastating effects of the President-Elect's stance on climate change.

During the interview, Madeley said: "The President-Elect has vowed to walk away from a global agreement about cutting carbon emissions for a second time. He has repeatedly called climate change a hoax." He pressed further, adding: "We're joined by Ed Miliband now, half of the world leaders are there, and if America doesn't get on board-because we all know that Donald Trump gets what Donald Trump wants-you're in real difficulties with this."

Miliband responded over the summit's resolve to move forward with or without U.S. support. "Well, look, we want to say that people haven't noticed the US election, but the thing I find here at this summit is a real determination to get on with the job, and the reason I am here, and the Prime Minister is here, is in our national self-interest."

The exchange prompted a backlash from viewers, with many voicing their frustration on social media. One user on X captured the mood, posting: "@Ed_Miliband watching GMB.....absolute car crash interview. We don't believe nor trust you.....resign!"

A second person added: "@Ed_Miliband Why are you on GMB claiming the U.K. is responsible for 1% of the world's emissions? absolute rubbish."

A third person commented: "Richard @richardm56 @gmb why do you say "YOU'RE" in difficulty because of Trump to @Ed_Miliband? The fact is WE are all in difficulty. It's the whole world and our children who will suffer. As for the cost of net zero."

Ed Miliband was later grilled by Susanna Reid during his appearance, where he defended the government's energy goals. Ed stated: "We set that out by 2030, we said that bills could go down by £300. And the reports I referred to last week from the Energy System Operator not only is our target achievable but it will lead to lower cost of electricity."

Reid pressed him further, asking: "So in six years our bills will go down by £300, how much are they going to have gone up by that point?" Ed pushed back, clarifying that rising bills were not a result of their plans, and added: "What we're doing is transitioning to cheap, clean power we control."

Fuming over the comments, one person took to social media to write: "He's so far out of touch of reality it's scary. To think that he's in charge of our energy security is not a comforting thought. Wind & solar energy is not going to make us self sufficient. It's for the birds. The sales pitch that it's clean is fraud. He thinks we are stupid."

A second person chimed in: "Due to our lovely weather, last week green energy provided just 10% of our energy. The future looks dark and cold with Ed in the driving seat."

A third commented: "When £300 is worth nothing because of Rachel Reeves inflation case by employer taxes."
