has come under fire from leader Richard Tice, who claims his "obsession" with Net Zero has left the UK vulnerable by jeopardising its steel industry.
In a Parliamentary debate on Wednesday, Tice will warn that Britain could soon become the only major industrial nation without general steel-making capacity, according to .
Tice will blame both and for increasing through green policies, with a particular focus on Miliband's role as the Secretary of State for Energy.
The Reform Party leader will claim that shutting down UK blast furnaces and replacing them with electric arc furnaces will not significantly reduce global carbon emissions.
He is also likely to express doubts about the readiness of these green alternatives by 2050.

Tice will further argue that net zero policies are driving up costs and making British steel uncompetitive compared to overseas producers.
He will stress the strategic importance of steel, saying that the UK risks relying on foreign nations for a critical resource.
The Reform UK leader will say: "Not to be able to make any steel at all, especially the strongest steel, makes us vulnerable to overseas nations for such a critical material - both in price and supply terms."
On top of that, he will warn of dire economic consequences, particularly for British communities.
Tice will argue: "Thousands of direct jobs are being sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero.
"Thousands more indirect jobs will be lost in supply chains. This affects families, children, and community cohesion.
"The impact of the coal mine closures is still felt in some areas 40 years on."
He will conclude that Britain's reliance on overseas steel not only increases CO2 emissions due to shipping but also drives up costs, harming the economy and leaving the country vulnerable in the face of future economic shocks.
