We Must Hope Mad Ed's Move To The Foreign Office Will Mean The End Of UK Governmednt's Net Zero Obsession

by Arthur Foxake, 23 Juy 2026: A decade ago, the leaders of the UK's three main political parties, David Cameron (Conservative), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) and Ed Miliband (Labour) signed a pledge that effectively moved the issue of climate and energy policy out of the democratic process.

Although it was not yet enshrined in law, this agreement opened the way for Theresa May to set the Net Zero target in 2019. We were quickly followed down the road to economic disaster by the EU which implemented restrictive laws on climate, energy security and farming. By 2021, our envoy to COP26, Alok Sharma was gleefully blowing up coal-fired power stations and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was boasting of aligning £130 trillion of the world’s financial assets with the Paris Agreement climate goals, or what we might now see as western economic suicide. Worse, people well qualified to criticise the crap science behind net zero were cancellled, hounded out of their jobs abd profesions and destroyed if the deviated from the official line on net zero. Fast forward to 2024 and Reform based their General Election campaign on a platform of ditching Net Stupid Zero. The pushback towards common sense did not stop there, earlier this year the current Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, signalled that the Tories no longer believed Net Zero was achievable by 2050. The number of journalists writing about the follies of Net Zero and UK energy policy grown (from almost net xero,) nd scientists were no longer being cancelled for expressing scepticism about the reliability of mathematical models on which the whole climate change case is built. The Net Zero juggernaut no longer looked impregnable, cracks were beginning to appear but progress was slow. Towards the end of 2025 however, Ms Badenoch announced that the Conservative Party plans to repeal the Climate Change Act, which underpins all the Net Zero nonsense. They have also committed to abolish the Climate Change Committee. And now Mad Ed Milliband, the swivel eyed fanatic who had emerged as leader of the Net Zero cult after being deposed as Labour leader, and in 2024 had become Secretary for Energy and Net Zero in a newly elected Labour government under the hapless Keir Starmer, has been moved to another department in government and the Labour government under a new leader (andy Burnham,) and with a new, more sane Energy Secretary seem to be embracing the Drill Baby Drill approach to energy secuity. In the USA Donald Trump, elected for a second term much to the disgust of lefties and progressives, revered many of the net zero policied of the previous deomcrat aministration and EU member states becant to rebel over draconian measures to force adoption of net zero policies as the disintegration of the climate catastrophe hoax gained momentum.

It is interesting that this change of heart has come from people who have largely never had to wonder about the engineering marvels that had tooccur behind the scenes to ensure the lights stayed on when they turned on their cookers. Perhaps the blackout in Spain and Portugal earlier this year has focused minds on the dangers of too many intermittent renewables on the grid.

We can now, with our national grid under extreme stress on low wind days and imports of electricity vial undersea cables from France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway regularly running at between 20%vand 30% of total UK demans, see that the empty rhetoric of the “Saudi Arabia of Wind” and “Green Energy Superpower” was the triumph of narrative over numbers and optics over substance. These people in wonk-land never had to worry about choosing between heating or eating; were not concerned about increasing energy debt and were totally at ease as heavy industry collapsed. They are ignorant of maths; the closest they have ever come to imaginary numbers is the increasingly implausible cost estimates from the CCC. They are also ignorant of economics as they clapped like seals at the “nine times cheaper than gas” mantra. We should welcome their Damascene conversion but be cautious that their new message might be just as fickle as the old.

As the case for Net Zero crumbles more with every missile fired across the Strait of Hormuz and Kemi’s Conservatives become more scetical of climare science every day Ed Miliband’s claim that Nigel Farage and Reform are “investment crushing, job destroying, bill raising, poverty driving, science denying, Putin appeasing, young people betraying bunch of ideological extremists”. Ironically this description is a far better fit on Ed's fanatical Climate Catastrophe cultists.

I think this is what psychologists call projection. Miliband is accusing his opponents of wanting to do the very same things he is already doing himself. Jim Ratcliff’s INEOS has ended all UK investment because of Net Zero policies pushing up taxes onNorth Sea oil and gas and expensive energy prices. This, of course, destroys jobs too. Miliband is pushing up bills by pressing ahead with Allocation Round 7, extending contracts to 20 years and offering prices that are much more expensive than gas-fired generation, and of course high bills drive poverty. Miliband denies the physics of intermittent renewables and seems totally unaware of the laws of thermodynamics.

Net Zero is not achievable without the huge amounts of copper needed for the cabling, grid equipment, motors, machines, appliances, etc for an all-electric economy/society Worldwide.

Copper needs copper ore and it is estimated that near 700 million tons of ore would be required over the next twenty years – about the same amount mined to date since copper was first invented as a resource by Man.

The biggest indicator in the market place is price – it tells among other things the relationship between supply and demand.

Were Net Zero achievable and on-course, the demand for things made with copper, thus copper, thus copper ore would be huge, and prices of ore would be climbing exponentially.

But that is not the case. In fact ore prices have been easing, showing that supply and demand are about balanced.

Price says, no Net Zero.

This was completely foreseeable. The only way to achieve anything close to “net zero” is to impoverish the British people. The only way people will accept being impoverished is if the government becomes tyrannical.We are talking about real impoverishment here, not just one fewer holiday per year and a smaller car. New Zero would rationing and surveillance at levels worse than those during the Second World War.

All of this should have been foreseen by our political leaders, scientists and opinion shapers and by by anyone with an IQ higher than the average brigk.

Since the people who lead us, the scientists who advise them and the propagandists who shape opinion have IQ's far higher than the average individual (allegedly,) we can only assume that they put personal and class interests ahead of the interests of the British people.

The UK establishment cares about its own power and influence, not just in Britain but around the world. It will sacrifice whoever it needs to sacrifice in order to maintain that power and influence, as it has always done.

Climate change policy has been led by the UK in alliance with the part of the US establishment that it has historically had influence over.

It’s a con job the sole purpose of which has been to try to neutralise the power and influence that oil and gas confers to the nations that have it. Our establishment used to control the oil and gas in the world and have fought hard over the decades to maintain that control. When it was no longer possible, they came up with climate change.

They literally couldn’t care less who they impoverished in the process. UK establishment figures think that those in the population that don’tagree with their ideas – NetZero, mass immigration.- are ignorant scum. They pretty much say it openly when the've had a few beers or done a line or two.

Why Ukraine's Banderite Elite Hope Forcing Men Into Military Service Will Keep The War Going

 

The despairing cries of a woman who stands, helpless can be heard along the whole length of the street, as masked men grab her husband, then bundle him into a waiting van. Within seconds sh is a forlorn figure, weeping in the middle of the now deserted street. This is Odesa, but scenes like it, captured on phones and posted online, hammer Ukrainian cities as relentlessly as Russian missiles. Since Putin’s full-scale invasion began, over a million Ukrainians have been conscripted to defend their homeland. And, as voluntary recruits have dried up, the army has begun resorting to the same methods faced by that couple in Odesa. .

The process is brutally simple. Draft officers, often accompanied by police, snatch military-age men off the streets, before delivering them to recruitment centres. There, many are pressured through threats, intimidation, and physical abuse to pass military medical examinations and sign draft papers. Men with serious conditions — including HIV, tuberculosis and even cancer — are routinely declared fit for service. Whether they like it or not, the recruitment officers must meet quotas; the only question is who fills them. Yet with Ukraine’s wealthy elite reluctant to heed the call, even as their closest allies advise them to accept defeat and surrender to save what is left of their country Kyiv’s recruitment crisis is becoming a class crisis too, one that could cause chaos long after the guns fall silent.

War is always ugly. Always. No exceptions. In war, morality becomes flexible. Both sides do things in the name of victory that they wouldn't do in peacetime to each other, to neutral parties, and to their own citizenry. The winner of the conflict gets to justify, rationalise, and sometimes just forget their own offences while the loser gets blamed for the war and everything their side did becomes a war crime or a genocide or w/e else the winners want to call it. Thus Ukraine's propagandists keep spinning propaganda to turn crushing defeat by an overwhelming force into a kind of victory.

Case in point, the US operated concentration camps and interned Japanese Americans in WWII. Were they better than the Nazi death camps, yes, but then our territory and infrastructure wasn't being decimated on a daily basis either. Had we faced an invasion of our homeland, had the US lost the war to Japan, this would not be merely and embarrassing historical footnote and we would probably not have been able to sweep this under the rug so easily.

The longer the conflict goes on, and the more dire the situation becomes for either side, the more decisions are ruled by fear and desperation rather than sound judgement. Fear and desperation make for poor decisions. War is one of those rare occasions where the top layers of society are truly in jeopardy of losing their wealth, power, and status. In normal times, people who possess wealth and power have little to fear. The two things ruling classes fear are war and revolution, because when the system, the army, the law, and the government that protects the ruling class and allows them to be a ruling class are defeated, they are no different than anybody else. They can be shot dead as easily as a homeless man on the street. Anything they own can be seized by force of arms. 

That's what's really going on here. The desperation of Ukraine's corrupt western leaning leaders and elites is showing in their tactics. The soldiers generated by this effort are almost certainly not worth the public backlash that is already building against them, but they're not being rational anymore. They're terrified of Putin and of being reabsorbed into Russia. They're terrified of signing any treaty that doesn't bind the EU or US or both to come to Ukraine's defense actively because they know that Russia can rearm and rebuild faster than they can. Never mind about Putin, the US will never agree to that. They'd know that if they were thinking rationally, but they're not. They're afraid of the Russians, they are terrified of going into exile because interpol have issued arrest warrants for them over embezzlement of cash aid, and they're desperate to find some way out of this dilemma.

IRGC States Not One Drop Of Oil Will Pass Through The Strait Of Hormuz As Full Scale Conflict Resumes

 

Amid amid large scale exchanges of missile and drone fire across The PersianGulf  today between Iranian and US forces, we can be sure that the Trump-Netayahu on-off-on war with Iran is on again. The battle for Hormuz has ramped up after the United States has undertaken three consecutive nights of major bombing raids against Iranian targets.

 The IRGC says they targeted enemy weapons and parts storages in Bahrain and Kuwait. This after the US appeared to attack some critical Iranian infrastructure on coastal islands.

 Later the IRGC has issued a fresh statement via state media on Tuesday, saying that "as long as the US evil stays in the middle east, not a drop of oil and gas will be exported from the region." It said further, per the press release that US aggression will have no result other than delaying the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

All the while President Trump is said to be "very serious" about his plan to impose a 20% toll on cargo transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a Semafor report says, citing a White House official who says the president has desired such a plan for months. Both warring sides are insisting that it is their side alone which will be 'guardian' over the strait. 

ABC is meanwhile reporting during the mid-afternoon (US time) that American airstrikes on Iran have been underway for the last couple of course. And yet still, Iran's IRIB has said that the Islamic Republic "must control the entire Hormuz Strait in wartime".

That oil is the main weapon of Iran and the primary fear of USA is obvious. They thought the MOU would allow free access to every ship in both directions through The Strait Of Hormuz. Well, this is what they get for thinking they can out - bluff the Iranians. Why would Iran allow any unfriendly ships to pass when the US military started violating the clauses before, during and after the signing?? They knew this and got their oil out as fast as they could and used the American threats to drag their feet on the other vessels.
 
China reimporting is most likely refilling their reserves. An article a few weeks back indicated China wasn’t interested in Iranian oil and all the vessels headed there will be disappointed. Well, it was a propaganda piece. They were parking there because they knew the MOU was just buying time. Time Iran has used wisely, time the US squandered because it and its friends were not able to refill their reserves. 

In total some 7 m bpd exited the Gulf region through new outlets. The releases from reserves and the lifting of sanctions contributed to additional supplies of some 3-5 m bpd. The reduction of Chinese import demand amounted to some 5 m bpd.

Due to all the above measures the global supply of about 100 m bpd only shrank to about 92-95 m bpd. Global demand, especially due to the Chinese measures, dropped to a nearly equal balance. The amount that was still missing in this rough calculation was drawn from reserves within the distribution and transport levels.

After all measures were in place demand and supply were balanced again and oil prices came down to a normal level of some $70+/bl.

When U.S. President Donald Trump decided to reignite the conflict he might have thought that the oil problem he had feared had gone away. He was wrong.

Volkswagen Crisis - German Car Giant To Drastically Reduce Model Range

 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/07/10/volkswagen-halves-model-range/

Volkswagen (VW), not long ago the word's biggest automobile maker, but now second to Toyota, in danger of being overhauled by Hyundai and with the spectre of China's Geeley and BYD looming ever larger in the rear view mirror, having failed to agree with unions  a plan to cut 100,000 jobs, are now looking for ways to axe half of its two model range as part of a cost-cutting drive.

The German car giant, which has been battling a downturn in sales performance exacerbated by high energy and labour costs, supply line problems and punitive taxes imposed by the German government and the EU,, announced the measure after the board's last ditch effort failed to agree on job cuts of up to 100,000 roles in a crunch meeting with union representatives.

VW said that halving the number of models it sold would allow it to focus on its best-selling and most profitable vehicles.

It did not say which brands would be affected or when the changes would be made, but the move raises the prospect of dozens of popular models being scrapped.

 Volkswagen and other EU car manufacturers are being hammered by competition from China where there are no net zero obstacles and exports are heavily subsidised. The EU's protectionist policy is supposed to cushion intra-EU car manufacture from this only it can't due to the risks of a trade war. So what is the point of the EU?

 Some may claim this Volkswagen crisis is capitalism in action, and while that may be true to some extent in Germany, we must always be aware that the western European nations (and a lesser extent in the USA,) due to state and EU interventions and policies like the enforced switch to EVs, net zero and high taxation to support extravagant welfare systems, market forces are distorted. The price of new cars have become prohibitively expensive mainly due to (in the UK anyway) the anti car Government piling more and more taxes on top plus the ludicrously expensive road fund tax (which doesn't go on roads) on new cars.I think it is only buyers of Company cars and the outrageous disability car purchase scam who can afford to buy a new car.

I can afford to buy a new car, but why would I when it loses 30% of its value once I take delivery? I’d rather pay 30% less. Most people don’t buy cars anyway, they pay a monthly fee to use them, like mobile phones, music, Sky, Netflix and the like

Short of new sactions across the board on Chinese cars, VW are going to have to eliminate most of their 'cheaper' cars, and hope that the expensive ones maintain some market share. I guess this is essentially what this new plan is.

Thank you Net Zero. The European car industry is finished, In 5 years time the Chinese will own VW, Stellantis, BMW, Renault and ... I can't think of any other European owned company except Mercedes but they will survive by retreating to the luxury market.

Spain's Solar Power Boom Goes Bust and Busts The National Grid

 by Arthur Foxake, 9 July 2026

Spain’s solar boom is running into a harsh reality: too much sunshine has created an energy glut, crashing prices and spooking investors, writes Hans van Leeuwen in the Telegraph.The article lays bare the insane voodoo-economics underlying all this Net Zero/Green energy nonsense.

In Spain, solar panels make much more sense than in the northern latitudes of UK with our cloudy skies and loooooong winter nights. So much sense that they’re producing too much energy, causing the price electricity companies pay producers to drop drastically. What happens then? Sell the excess energy to someone else – the French, or us – lowering prices elsewhere? 

Nope, the grid and interconnectors can’t take the surplus energy, last year a sunny spell in summer overloaded transformers on the national distribution grid and knocked out electricity supply to homes and businesses over a large part of the country. Continue covering thousands of square miles of productive agricultural land with panels that produce electricity nobody wants and Store it? Nope: no-one bothered to think about storage technology (or rather the lack of it). Provide the energy to Ramon and Luz in the house down the road, at a zero price? Nope, not allowed: because the whole push is wrapped in a bonkers guaranteed-price straitjacket.

So, instead: switch off the solar plant.  Yes switch them off because the gas and nuclear power stations must be kept running in order to level the loading on the grid when supplies from intermittent sources suddenly fluctuate.  These fabulous solutions to pollution, supposedly providing cheap energy, have to be switched off to keep the price high. For years this blog has been saying Net Zero is a scam built on the Climate Catastrophe hoax.

It’s tempting to read this as “greedy investors gaming a  badly thought out system, traducing good intentions”; that is certainly our problem in Britain, particularly net zero crazy Scotland where energy producers are paid more for NOT producing electricity than they earn from current fed into the grid, and there may be some element of it in Spain.

But whether it’s the evil Capitalists putting up the money, or government doing it directly (and the generation/transmission complex is a textbook case of potential market failure), someone has to pay for the construction and maintenance of these expensive, brand-new solar plants and they are not cheap to build and maintain. Perhaps this prioritising theory over reality is why green power has failed so miserably.

It seems to me that a guaranteed future price is one of the  most counter productive ways of raising the money. As your friendly local free-market economist will tell you, it suppresses an important signal.

Some signal is getting through nevertheless, and investment in solar in Spain is drying up. What’s wrong with that? Well, it’s only wrong because Spain has to expand solar, according to Book of Net Zero 1:1 – even if the market signals (and the underlying realities they reflect) don’t make it worthwhile. Build more solar plants, and switch them (and the existing ones) off more often.

The logic of the Net Zero lobby is totally insane.

The War With Iran Is On - No It's Off - No It's On Again

 

The UK Maritime Trade Operations centre (UKMTO) reported late on Tuesday afternoon that it had received imformation about a tanker being hit by an Iranian drone and sustaining "minor structural damage" while passing through the  Strait of Hormuz., the gas and oil transit chokepoint at the entrance to the Persian Gulf.

The agency said no casualties or environmental impacted had been reported so far and that the vessel was "continuing to its next port of call".

Around 40 minutes earlier, UKMTO said another tanker was reportedly struck by an "unidentified projectile" in the Strait, taking "structural damage". Again no casualties have been reported, it added.

The agency is investigating the incidents and advised vessels in the area to proceed with caution.

Early on Tuesday morning, a third ship reported being hit in the region by an "unknown projectile on the port side," causing a fire, per UKMTO.

According to the agency, the ship was sailing south out of the Strait, close to Limah, Oman. Again, it said there were no recorded casualties or impacts to the environment.

Iran's Fars News Agency claimed one of the ships struck in the Strait is the Al-Ruqayat, which was targeted after allegedly ignoring IRGC navy warnings while passing through the Strait's Omani route. Tehran has said only its approved route through the Strait of HOrmuz is safe. The elite Iranian IRGC resiment did not directly claim the assault, but The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had fired at two commercial ships.

Majed Al Ansari, a spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, has condemned the attack on the Qatari tanker, calling it an "unacceptable attack on the security & safety of international maritime navigation".

Ansari added that the government of Qatar held Iran "fully legally responsible for this attack & for any resulting damages & consequences".

The Strait of Hormuz has been at the centre of tensions between Washington and Tehran and is a key part in the "memorandum of understanding" agreed by the two sides in June, but constant violations suggest a deal to end the war is as far off as ever

Iran had effectively closed off the Strait after the US launched military action against Iran in February, sparking chaos in global energy markets. Iran's latest violations of the fragile ceasefire come as the world waited for President Trump's response to attacks on commercial shipping at the end of last month. Many commentators opine that negotiations will collapse and full scale war will erupt again as Iran continues to weaponise the strait against The USA and Israel.

Brent crude oil rose 1.4pc to $73 a barrel following the strike, which Iranian state television said happened after the liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker ignored warnings. Crude oil and Brent is still lower than when the Iran war started and the Gas price before the Ukrainian War started. Yet our petrol is 20p a litre higher and The Energy Cap is 30% higher. We are being totally ripped off and shop prices continue to rocket dur to the transport and energy costs. The cost of living crisis is being ignored by the media but it's forcing millions into debt or poverty. 

Oil as a commodity is INCREDIBLY cheap. Just look at a 25 year timeline and take inflation into account. It is the stinking greedy Government that is milking us.

And UK's crazy 'Minister for Net Zero' Ed Miliband is hellbent on locking us into the highest electricity prices in the developed world.

Pound Falls, Confidence In Burnham Evaporates As Prime Minister In Waitig Lurches To The Left

 

 

Traders in London's financial markets have staked their biggest bet against the pound in almost a decade, according to The Mail on Sunday.

In a blow to Prime Minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham, speculators are  piling into short positions in the expectation that sterling will fall against the dollar and other currencies if Burnham's government moves to the Left.

News of the £7billion wager against the pound comes as Burnham, who is will replace Keir Starmer and enter No.10 later this month, seeks to calm financial markets.

His major policy speech last week promising to devolve more power to English regions caused barely a ripple on the bond markets, though Government borrowing costs remain high, but this news shows there is little confidence that he will prove to be more competent than Starmer.

Sterling recently fell to $1.32  after Burnham emerged as the front-runner to oust Starmer when he won the Makerfield by-election, clearing his path back to Parliament.

Now, in what amounts to a big thumbs-down on the prospect of a Burnham premiership, speculators have raised their wagers on a weaker pound to their highest level since the aftermath of Brexit almost ten years ago. All of which would lead to a reduction in tax revenues, more borrowing to fund the deficit, higher inflation and further weakening of the pound.

 And the the UK Government would have no option other than to seek a bailout from the IMF as Labour governments of the 1960s and 70s did.

The incoming PM  has pledged to retain fiscal rules designed to the curb excessive borrowing of the Starmer - Reeves financial policy and stick to Labour’s 2024 manifesto promise not to raise VAT, income tax or employee National Insurance. But the former Mayor of Greater Manchester has suggested other taxes could rise, while ruling out ‘crude cuts’ to the welfare bill.

Burnham has already expressed his opinion on 'the markets' and seems to believe he can ignore them and introduce whatever public spending policies he has in mind. The previous Labour government left a 'no money' note when it exited in 2010; the one before it had to apply to the IMF in 1976 for a fiscal bail-out. The common denominator then and now being that of SOCIALIST GOVERNMENTS  running out of cash and credibility as they slide towards authoritarianism.

A financial or currency shock - as we saw with the Soros bet of a similar amount in the 1990s - during the handover of Starmer to Burnham could be politically exploited to reset the UK’s economic baseline. It would weaken confidence in the incoming Burnham government, justify tighter controls on the financial system which, so long as things go according to plan, then shifts public appetite toward more state intervention, and creates the opening for reforms like a CBDC that would have been harder to sell before. 

It is the road to communism.
