It is very odd seeing the shadow Env Sec, @LukePollard try to claim that the government has no idea how to implement the #NetZero agenda and isn't showing leadership ahead of #FLOP26.

It is MPs from all parties that have put climate targets ahead of knowing how to achieve them.

And it is all parties that have put global agreements ahead of the public's appetite for the policies.

The public have been excluded from the debate by the three legacy parties. No MP can claim to know how #NetZero can be achieved. Pollard's criticism of the government is empty.

Labour have no better idea, either.

When Ed Miliband went to Copenhagen in 2009, he believed that the newly-minted Climate Change Act would give the UK government an edge in negotiations.

All the other countries just ignored him and Parliament's act of sacrifice.

For instance... How would Sir Kier Starmer have persuaded China and India to be more forthcoming on NDCs?

And how would Kier Starmer convince people -- and the hitherto simpatico press -- that heat pumps will work?

Instead of making the case, @LukePollard merely bleats on about 'leadership'.

"Leadership" isn't detail. "Leadership" can't make a thoroughly regressive, uncosted, technically-unfeasible, undemocratic policy agenda legitimate.

"Leadership" can't twist the arm of China & India.

See for yourself...

On Ed Miliband's own measures of the tasks that were ahead of him, he failed miserably in each respect.

He failed to move the public. He failed to move the 'international community'. He failed to set out what was necessary.

It failed -- and it will continue to fail -- thanks in very great part to the work of the Labour Party, which sought *categorically* to dismantle democratic British politics.

Don't take my word for it. Listen to the other Miliband admitting it.

You can substitute Alok Sharma with either of the Miliband brothers in this video that explains the problem.

Labour decided that pandering to "civil society" was more important than seeking a democratic mandate. The Tories simply continued that tendency.

You think I'm joking?

This was 2009...

After the Labour Party offered its membership a choice between Miliband and Miliband, David lost and decided to quite politics.

He landed a job that pays him a $million per year.

In a dubious, heavily taxpayer-funded "civil society" organisation.

So, @LukePollard, don't tell us that the Labour Party are any kind of alternative to the Tories.

NB: *NOBODY* gets a $million/year job without some behind-the-scenes quid-pro-quo action.

We can be 100% sure of that fact.

The Milibands took their share of the sale price of UK democracy.
