    Good morning and welcome back as Victoria Derbyshire prepares to grill guests during this edition of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

    In the hot seat this morning is Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband, who will be quizzed on the government's green policies.

    His opposite number Claire Coutinho - who held the brief when the Tories were in power - has been defending her party's pledge to axe the law that legally requires the UK government to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050.

    Meanwhile, fresh from his landslide leadership election victory last month, the Green's Zack Polanski also joins the programme.

    Also joining Victoria on the panel will be former Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, journalist Emily Maitlis and broadcaster Adil Ray.
