Ed Miliband has vowed to ban fracking during his speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
Addressing the conference, the Energy Secretary declared he "sent those frackers packing", calling out ex-Tory figures including Liz Truss and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Mr Miliband told the conference: "We sent those frackers packing. I say let's ban fracking and vow to send this bunch of frackers packing too."
Taking aim at Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, the Energy Secretary said him and his party are a "job-destroying, bill-raising, poverty-driving, science-denying, [Vladimir] Putin-appeasing, young-people betraying bunch of ideological extremists".

He continued: "And we know where they want to go next because they have told us – fracking. Fracking in your communities. Fracking will not take a penny off bills. It will not create long-term sustainable jobs.
"It will trash our climate commitments, and it is dangerous and deeply harmful to our natural environment. Friends, the good news is that communities have fought back and won this fight before and will do so again."
