Last week before a Select Committee, a bunch of genuine energy industry experts effectively demolished Miliband's plans - at least in his risible 2030 timing for de-carb and price cuts, if not in totality. Their numbers and reasoning cannot be gainsaid. Even the Grauniad has noticed.
And yet he & DESNZ still keep mouthing the same nonsense. "It's all the fault of gas. £300 bill reductions by 2030 are a commitment. 95% decarb elec by 2030. Both will come through investment in renewables, and that's the only way."
Emperor. No clothes. It's too serious, just to point & laugh.
I know he thinks Net Zero is his life's mission on earth & redemption for losing the 2015 GE; he's resilient, determined, politically adept and relentlessly optimistic: but how long can he last in office? Before he's simply pushed by Starmer, or baited beyond endurance by Reeves, or his intellectual pride causes him to throw in the towel?

OT, but as ND predicted... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clykzx43v0po
On topic - I think they want him to quit, if they sacked him, he'd probably hop over to the Greens in revenge and to place more pressure on Starmer.
At this point, Starmer is some kind of anti-Midas, if he tripped and fell into a pool of models at the Playboy mansion, he'd somehow find himself tangled with Hefner's corpse. Set adrift in the ocean, if he found land, it'd be Epstein's island.
Reeves is revving up to hike taxes to such an extent that Starmer will be expected to chuck him out to try and keep the 'cost of living' increases out of sight for a few days!
An income tax hike is well in the crosshairs of TTK's little Playstation...
