Tory MP Esther McVey Thinks Net Zero is a “Dud” Having Spent Years Inflicting it On the British Public

 A person identifying as the Conservative MP Esther McVey told Mike Graham on his morning Talk show earlier this week that “Net Zero was a dud”. Surely this could not have been the Esther McVey who is a leading light in the Conservative Environment Network (CEN), a Green Blob-funded activist group promoting a no ifs, no buts 2050 Net Zero policy. This calls for “accelerating” the transition away from fossil fuels in the power, transport and heating sectors in order to deliver “lower, more stable bills for consumers and greater energy security”. Perhaps Talk’s strict vetting process to weed out imposters failed on this one occasion, or maybe McVey is just demonstrating how fluid opinions can be in the hands of a modern politician. Readers can decide after considering the thoughts of Groucho Marx: “Those are my principles and if you don’t like them, well I have others.”

Current events are making a mockery of every UK politician in the ‘Uniparty’ that supported the crazy hard Left New Zero fantasy over the last 20 years. The electricity blackout across Iberia last Monday, which experts have blamed on unreliable wind and solar energy, sent shock waves through the political class. The problem of fluctuating frequency gets worse the more renewable power is loaded onto the system and will not go away. Almost certain blackouts are on the way for any grid that follows the potentially catastrophic renewable policy. Now Conservative politicians like McVey are running for the hills since they suspect, rightly, that any UK blackouts will be blamed on them.

The wily politician Nigel Farage from Reform has already set the political trap by popularising the term Net Stupid Zero. McVey is suddenly speaking of the poverty that Net Zero will cause, shamelessly noting that for the Left the policy was one of “hope over reality”. It is as if McVey never sat in Cabinets run by Net Zero fanatics Theresa May and Boris Johnson, and hasn’t spent the last decade campaigning and voting for the whole ghastly collectivist project. Quite how she kept a straight face on Graham’s show and claimed the Right including herself was always sceptical about Net Zero and the costs it imposed on people will forever remain a mystery. She is still part of a Green Blob activist group that thinks, like the Mad Miliband, that Net Zero will somehow lower bills and provide a de-industrialised UK with energy security....<<<Read More>>>...
