The Net Zero debacle has become such a deadweight for the UK Labour Party, that Tony Blair, Former Labour  Prime Minister has dropped a second bombshell on the Environment Minister, blaming renewables for high electricity prices and telling him to abandon Net Zero targets and green levies.

This is good news, but before anyone think he has seen the light, be aware the light his team are watching is mostly the rising star of Reform UK. What he's really afraid of, apparently, is that the horrid "Right-wing populists" might win more elections. It's a thought so awful, even a Labour stalwart is willing to give up the Net Zero incantation. Imagine how much damage Nigel Farage might do to the Blob if Reform UK romped home?

This then, is damage control to stop an electoral wipe-out:
Tony Blair urges Ed Miliband to abandon green levies

Sir Tony Blair has urged Ed Miliband to abandon his clean power targets and slash expensive green levies.

The Tony Blair Institute (TBI), the former prime minister's think tank, warned that a pledge to decarbonise UK electricity by 2030 was destroying industry and damaging households.

The target to ditch fossil fuels puts Labour at risk by pushing voters towards Reform UK before next year's crucial Scottish, Welsh and English regional elections.

Ryan Wain from the TBI urged the Energy Secretary to instead focus on making electricity much cheaper to stop "Right-wing populists" undermining support for net zero.

One wonders if Tony Blair would have said a single word about the poor suffering victims of Net Zero, if Reform wasn't streaking far ahead in the polls, and the Conservatives were still cheering on the plan too. Where was Blair in last year's elections?

With a former Labour heavyweight speaking up against Net Zero in the UK, and US Democrats recognizing that "climate change" turns off voters, The Australian conservatives could end up being the last people on Earth still endorsing Net Zero.
