Will Tony Blair persuade Labour to dump Miliband and extreme net-zero?

[clive of payia]

Tony Blair is right to say the transition to net-zero will prove too dear and too unpopular with the public. Alas, he fails to point out that the policies of both Labour and Tory governments to:

1. Import expensive foreign gas instead of using our own.
2. Forcing people into purchasing battery cars when the UK power couldn’t support them.
3. Close down our energy-using factories and import goods we could easily make ourselves and provide needed employment.

All of which means more world CO2.

These policies are deindustrialising the UK. They make UK consumers poorer by paying all the green levies, carbon taxes and windfall taxes taxes. They divert massive amounts of capital to replace perfectly good home-grown energy assets. They mean a big rise in state debt and interest charges taxpayers have to pay as the government spends on carbon capture, increased grid and renewables.

There needs to be a drastic and urgent change of policy. Will the PM move Mr Miliband out of his current job and get on with reversing the taxes, subsidies, high energy prices, bans and import-based strategies which are doing such harm?

It is a rare day I have any agreement with Tony Blair but he is right here.
