<\/p>\n

It’s been a big day for Labour – Lord Alli is under investigation, Starmer’s handed back \u00a36,000 worth of freebies and now it turns out that Angela Rayner’s Ibiza DJ booth rave-up was a freebie as well. <\/p>\n

Oh, and substitute geography teacher David Lammy told Lebanese people to go back home… to Israel. Mastermind. <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

And now the eco-fanatic Energy Minister, red Ed Miliband, has basically admitted that his lunatic net zero agenda could leave us all shivering in the dark due to black outs. <\/p>\n

Here’s Mr Milliband praising the closure of our last coal fired power plant: “Last night was a historic moment for Britain’s energy system because after 142 years, the last coal fired power plant at Ratcliffe-on-Soar shut down, and I want to pay tribute to the workers there.”<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

He thinks it’s a good thing. Well today, the man described by Robert Jenrick as Wallace without the Gromit has announced giant metal flywheels could be installed, because the removal of coal from our system could cause blackouts. <\/p>\n

Can you guess who’s making these giant metal flywheels? A Norwegian company. So not only will we be forced to buy oil from Norway instead of using our own, we’ll also probably pay them for our green energy as well. Fantastic.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ed Miliband has promised his big green revolution will lead to more jobs – thousands of them to be precise. <\/p>\n

Here he is saying it as well: “We want to work with companies like Rolls Royce to have these good jobs at good wages that people in your constituency really want to see.”<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Well the North Sea Oil ban is set to cost thousands of jobs, and the closure of the Port Talbot plant is costing between 2,500 and 4,000 jobs. <\/p>\n

So he’s made loads of people unemployed and the green jobs he’s told them to get… don’t exist. Another thing Miliband bangs on about is your energy bills. <\/p>\n

Here he is with his big plan to save you money: “Can you imagine celebrating that energy bills are over \u00a3400 higher than they were before the crisis began? Well, that’s what Rishi Sunak’s been doing. <\/p>\n

“Only Labour offers a plan for real change, to cut energy bills for good with GB Energy, our new publicly owned energy company.”<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And here’s the reality. Yesterday energy bills rose by an average of \u00a3149 a year because the price cap went up 10 per cent. In fact, we have the highest electricity prices in Europe. You’re paying more for electricity than anyone in Europe. <\/p>\n

But don’t worry, when they are not using giant metal flywheels, Ed Miliband’s going to be relying on off shore wind. But the 2023 financial results are in and they show that it cost the taxpayer \u00a346million to generate \u00a313m of electricity.<\/p>\n

So just so we’re clear – Ed Miliband said he’d make us more energy secure, bring your bills down and create more jobs. <\/p>\n

The reality is, there’ll be blackouts that leave us shivering in the dark, your bills have gone up and more people are unemployed. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
