Ed Miliband has denied to Liberal Conspiracy that the leaked transcript of a deal between rich nations at Copenhagen represented the UK’s position.

The Guardian published a ‘Danish text’ leak yesterday and claimed the summit was in disarray because developing countries were furious.

The draft agreement, which was apparently agreed between the Danes, UK and USA, and shown to a handful of rich countries, would sideline the UN’s negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol.

In a tweet reply to me Ed Miliband MP said:

@pickledpolitics shouldn’t judge UK position from one article. Danish text not a british one.

The Guardian today reports that representatives from developing countries reacted in dismay to the text.

Ed Miliband was replying to an earlier tweet by me that stated:

UK trying to push through Copenhagen proposals to screw poorer countries http://bit.ly/7Ciwx3 – @EdMilibandMP must be proud

The British government is yet to release an official response to the leak.
