Ed Miliband Wishes Tony Blair Would Flush Off
Poor Ed Miliband. Like most of us, he probably wishes that Tony Blair would get lost and stop bothering him. But last week, the former Prime Minister again weighed in on Miliband’s policy of bothering us with his ‘Clean Power 2030’ agenda. A new report from the Tony Blair institute for Global Change (TBI), ‘Why Britain Needs an Energy-Strategy Reset‘, argued that “if Clean Power 2030 was ever fit for purpose, that is no longer the case”, and that it “is not climate leadership – it is climate theatre”.
It was a year ago that the TBI last offered its expert wonks’ expertise to the Government. As I argued here, the report was widely viewed – welcomed, even – as a damning indictment of Net Zero. But it seemed to me that Blair’s geeks weren’t so much criticising Net Zero as trying to save it at all costs. Blair’s solution to the obvious flaws in the agenda? Forget trying to resurrect the industries that expensive energy has already killed, buy cheaper steel and other stuff from China and then beg China to “invest” here.

Blair is the biggest monster since WW2. This is the creature that killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, is responsible for the global strengthening of Islam, the destruction of Western culture by mass migration, and the reordering of power and influence in the UK by restructuring the civil service. A monster that still lurks in the shadows, clawing at everything to leave bloody wounds and malignant cancer.
Should’ve been in the Hague many many years ago along with his acolytes. Rather odd that this hasn’t happened, maybe something to do with the fact that it was set up and run by Western interests.
Should have been underground, charred and dismantled.
Just my opinion, not a call to action!
Also, it was Blair’s government that put in place the legal and institutional framework of The Great Replacement.
The most important commodity of all is —-ENERGY. But the Miliband’s of this world, and there are hundreds of them, want to price us out of using it. ——The climate scam upon which our absurd energy policies are based is a SYSTEM. It is a system that rewards compliance and conformity, but punishes any kind of scrutiny. If you reject this SYSTEM you are supporting the death of the planet and the extinction of the human race. So he system maintains its hold over us by using guilt and this is common in politics but unique with the climate fraud because it is GLOBAL. ——-Who voted for this system of control that is setting about transforming the whole global economy? —-Did poor people in Africa, one billion of whom don’t even have electricity vote for it. Ofcourse not, but they are getting it anyway, and when we in the wealthy west tell them not to use their coal and gas, what we are really telling them is that that they will never have electricity, except if they use solar panels and don’t want all their fridges freezers and lights on at the same time. But the eloquence and beauty of… Read more »
An awful lot of people already know all this. What we don’t know is what to do about it. Net Zero has cult status and cult victims are notoriously difficult to restore to sanity. Telling them that control of energy and emissions equates to control of earth and space has no effect other than to elicit approval.
An awful lot of people like you maybe know this, but the general public don’t.
One thing nobody’s ever explained is why Ed Miliband has a broken nose and a thick lip. It can’t be a punch from Starmer.
He’s lucky it seems to only have happened once.
Prompted by this article I have just read a wonderful, jargon packed document from the ONS which estimates green jobs in Britain.(https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/bulletins/experimentalestimatesofgreenjobsuk/july2025)
It would seem as if binmen (I have never seen a binwoman), or members of the waste industry in their jargon, are now classified as green jobs and in fact form the largest category.
I am suspicious that these are not “new green jobs” but old ones reclassified, and the government is conning us all by changing definitions, rather like the number of children/people in poverty is manipulated by changing the income level that defines poverty.
The ‘green jobs’ is a scam and there used to be a ratio of real jobs destroyed by each ‘green job’ as around 3. Yes, making real normal jobs ‘green’ is just a lie but the worst is the inclusion of all these green activist unproductive jobs that actually promote destruction of productive jobs.
Death is too good for the sort of people that create this nonsense. Far too good.
My DIL is a public affairs person for a major waste handling business (no, she is not an outspoken bin lady!!) I have to tread on eggshells when she is about. I don’t like upsetting people and may be banned from granson access if she is too offended by my opinion on climate and green issues.
The green jobs theory is brown jobs
Two turds which just won’t flush.
Turds are nicer and of more use than those two.
Yes how exactly did Blair become so rich?
Grift.
I think the services of his wife were quite productive – no, not that way! No chance of a profit there.
I dunno, with that wide mouth she could double the throughput.
Rewards from his puppeteers for services capably rendered.
All part of the great reset 2030. Society has to be destroyed first, the there has to be a financial collapse. We will then be queueing with our begging bowls.
Then they can really get to work on us.
Flim flam – it’s all Putin’s fault.
Energy security – Just one of many reasons which are being and will be used to justify attacking Russia.
The real reason being that the West needs a suitable scapegoat to deflect the fact that Western economic and societal woes are the fault of those ostensibly in charge since the end of WW2.
Let’s build millions of treadmills and change UC to require claimants to be available on immediate notice to turn them when the wind stops blowing.
Labour, and their net zero project are both going to get dumped at the next election (I hope). Unlike dimwit Miliband, Blair can see the writing on the wall, and his interventions are an attempt to save the project. He thinks that by just slowing things down a bit his beloved Labour might yet be saved. I think they are both deluded
I see there is a vomit-inducing 3 part series The Tony Blair Story on C4 that started last night.
Anyone who would trust Sir Tony The Liar on anything needs their head examining. His shit-tank report still thinks that the unachievable Net Zero is possible by 2050 based on masses of Hopium for technology that does not exist or exists but does not achieve what they want. By wanting to push the 2030 deadline back the TBI bunch are running cover for the global fascists to try to avoid the end of the Uniparty control of the UK at the next election.
It is reported that when it came to sweet things he always liked a Cherie on the top.
Anybody who’d want to shag cherry Blair 7 times in a night and then boast about it…my goodness.
Be interesting to see what the advert sales were like- and to whom.
