OPINION

       Miliband is a master of self-delusion (Image: Andy Stenning/Daily Mirror)

       Can someone tell me the point of Ed Miliband? Someone? Anyone? His life is a litany of political failure, yet here he still is pontificating, still virtue signalling and still screwing Britain at every turn. He even screwed his own party - changing internal rules which allowed the pitiful, catastrophic comedy politician Jeremy Corbyn to lead a once proud political party to humiliation and its worst defeat since 1935.

       So did Keir Starmer banish this useless, whining, student politician to the wilderness like any sane person would? Why no! He made him Energy Secretary and put him in charge of making your gas and electricity bills more expensive and more impossible to pay. Ed, you see, has no grasp of basic economics. And this is because his mentor, his idol, and the real power behind Britain’s suicidal energy model is an autistic Swedish teenager. You know the one.

       Ed’s colossal stupidity and gullibility seem rarely far from the surface (the brains of the family appear to have gone to his big brother David) but today jaws across the nation hit the floor once more as this man - who is in charge of spending more than ￡17BILLION of our hard earned money - said raising taxes on energy firms to 78 percent would have zero impact on prices.

       In what was correctly described by Express.co.uk as a car-crash interview Sky News presenter Wilfred Frost pointed out that if taxes on supermarkets were raised to 78% there might just be a teeny impact on shelf prices. But Ed spluttered and blustered that, by some unexplained magic, raising taxes on energy companies would have absolutely no impact on consumer prices, and he kept repeating some version of "The price of oil and gas is set on the international market... it's set by the global price.”

       It’s worth reminding you at this point that this man has ￡17BILLION of your money to spend - makes you shake your head and despair doesn’t it?

       Of course Ed is a master of self-delusion. Even as the future of the blast furnaces in Scunthorpe hang in the balance - with even the Labour Party’s biggest paymaster the Unite union demanding LOWER energy prices - Ed is hell bent on raising them.

       We already have the highest energy prices in Europe - but Ed wants them higher.

       Ed’s on a mission you see, to be the man who brought Net Zero to Britain, so we can all fall at his feet and praise him.

       He is of course too knuckleheaded to see that Net Zero as is stands is about to cripple Britain and contribute to the recession we are surely about to fall into (we’ll come to that twin knucklehead Reeves later).

       Net Zero is also - as the unerring political radar of Nigel Farage has spotted - about to become the new Brexit.

       In well-heeled Islington, Labour luvvie central, far far away from the dirty nasty blast furnaces of Scunthorpe Net Zero is perfect dinner party virtue signalling fodder to be discussed over ciabatta and edamame bean salad.

       Ignore the fact Britain already contributes to less than one percent of the world’s greenhouse gases, ignore the fact China opens a massive new coal-fired power station EVERY WEEK (from where we willingly source our cheap goods), ignore the fact we should have started fracking our own energy 10 years ago instead of shipping in someone else’s fracked gas causing 10 times the environmental damage, ignore the fact Ed wants to wind down North Sea oil and gas so instead we ship in Liquified Natural Gas from the USA, which is now the world’s biggest supplier and totally self-sufficient in energy because 20 years ago it chose to frack.

       Never mind the massive economic benefits fracking would bring to struggling towns like Blackpool (also a long long way from Islington) right now it is dirtier not to frack.

       Ed is keen on telling us that renewable energy is cheap energy. But it isn’t, it really isn’t.

       The UK has lowered its carbon emissions more than almost any other country in the developed world in the last 25 years and we have a much higher share of renewables in our energy mix than most other countries, yet we still have the most expensive energy on the entire continent.

       Ed’s fellow numpty Rachel Reeves also tells us there is “no trade off between growth and Net Zero”. Really? Might want to tell that to the myriad firms refusing to invest in Britain simply because our energy prices are sky high.
