My beautiful euphorbia has just just started to be affected by mildew. What can I do to stop this? I have cut out the affected shoots

Is it or has it been too dry at the roots?

In your message to me you say that you don't believe that dryness is the problem - in this case have a look here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/gardeningadvice/5941086/How-to-tackle-powdery-mildew.html for helpful advice.
It will be of some cheer for you to learn that the majority of powdery mildews are plant specific, and the one affecting your euphorbia should not spread to different types of plants - although of course poor cultural conditions may make them susceptible to their own type of powdery mildew.
Good luck
