Can Keir Starmer not see that Ed Miliband is so blinded by eco-ideology that he’s lost touch with reality?

WE have always feared Ed Miliband’s eco insanity would trigger blackouts in years to come. It is truly terrifying to discover how close we came on Wednesday. Low wind, no sun and freezing weather across Europe left us short. We had to pay two gas-fired plants ten times the normal rate to switch back on.

One expert says if a single power station had gone offline the country might have been exposed to electricity rationing or even 1970s-style power cuts. Time and again the Energy Secretary has been warned that wind and solar will never suffice. Even relying so heavily on such intermittent power, while closing reliable nuclear and gas plants, is dangerously moronic.
Miliband promised bills would fall. Instead the colossal price of energy is crippling firms and families. Meanwhile the billions being borrowed for his deranged charge off the Net Zero cliff are helping derail the public finances. Blackouts in the world’s sixth biggest economy really would be our final step into the abyss.
Can Keir Starmer not see that the man he put in charge of our energy supply is so blinded by eco ideology that he has lost touch with reality?. LABOUR must not silence debate on rape gangs by enshrining a misguided, or indeed any, definition of “Islamophobia” into law.
It is not racist to speak of Pakistani grooming gangs where their members are all or almost all of Pakistani origin. It does not smear Muslims, nor Pakistani men generally, the overwhelming majority of whom are as repulsed by these evil predators as anyone else.
