Labour is in a fight against “global network of rightwing billionaires” who want to undermine net zero for their “vested interests”, Ed Miliband has said.
The only reason my plans aren’t working is because the billionaires have it in for me.
He is set to announce a target of creating 400,000 new jobs in clean energy, doubling jobs in the sector by 2030
How super! Doubling the labour cost of the sector.
On Wednesday he will pledge to create a “fair worker charter”, which will mean that companies which receive public funding will have to guarantee fair pay, flexible working and access to unionisation.
The final rules could include enhanced pay, bonuses and sick leave, flexible working and contracts, as well as new access for unions, new rights for offshore workers and workers on the boards of publicly owned bodies such as Great British Energy.
That’s very fun as well. Who will be the first to say, on sight of the government chequebook, “‘N’ you can fuck off ‘n’ all”?
If billionaires were really out to get him he’d be at the bottom of a canal attached to some very heavy weights. So come on based billionaires, do your public duty and be popular at the same time!
But the pollution..!
‘Global Billionaires’ are the new Jewish Plutocrats, hiding in the shadows, pulling the strings…
The Climate Change Conspiracy rails constantly that it is being threatened by the forces of Dark Money, despite having the backing of some of these billionaires and governments, when the real resistance comes from blokes in their spare bedrooms looking at temperature charts, when they should be watching Strictly.
The Grauniaf used to say something similar when it was asking for donations from it’s gullible readership.
