Trump said the UK was making a 'very big mistake' by retreating from oil and gas.

Criticism comes amid an exodus of operators from the North Sea , which are ditching the UK in protest against the Government ’s windfall tax.

Ed Miliband , the Energy Secretary, has prioritised achieving clean power by 2030 .

But the focus on renewables such as offshore wind has put Britain on a collision course with Mr Trump .

Mr Trump ’s comments would make bill payers blood boil’ according to campaigners.

Warm This Winter spokesman said: “Let's be clear: UK bills are spending over 700 more on energy than they did before the energy crisis, thanks to volatile fossil fuel prices, while just 20 companies have made 483bn in profits since it started three years ago .
