Miatta Fahnbulleh: "I'm the minister for energy consumers and I've got one job"

Miatta Fahnbulleh , 45 , is the MP for Peckham and Camberwell .

She is one of five new MPs to be given a ministerial role despite having no previous parliamentary experience.

She says she always knew she wanted to serve in some capacity.

But it took a pandemic to convince her to stand for parliament.

Fahnbulleh is convinced that the department’s clean power plan is a key part of the consumer story.

Warm Home Discount is providing a one -off 150 electricity discount for up to 6.1 million households next winter .

Warm Homes Plan will help householders upgrade drafty, energy-inefficient properties and save money in the process.

Fahnbulleh says she came into politics to try and change the economy so it works for people.

As an economist by trade, might the Treasury be her next and natural home? “I genuinely didn’t think I’d have a job so early on,” she replies.
