Ed Miliband “ha rifiutato di lasciare Brief Energy” in Reshuffle

He just said no to what should be the highest office in the land. Lmao.

Good, he’s one of the few ministers consistently showing results and making progress. It would be silly to take him from something he’s good at and passionate about to stick him with something he doesn’t have a year of experience with

Ed is literally Labours energy guy. He attends all the COP summits, even in opposition. Talks about energy all the time. He is a massive energy nerd. If you have listened to any proper interviews with him, you will know it’s his passion. Reshuffling him out of Energy would be bonkers. I am glad he refused. Here is a really good interview of Ed a couple of months ago [Can Miliband Clean Up UK Energy AND Lower Bills, Or Is Net Zero Over? | Fully Charged Show Podcast – YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awctgZG_Lb0)

Edit: Bonus videos to help understand energy policy better all worth watching:

Good. The latest cabinet reshuffle is another example of how silly our system is. Because cabinet appointments are a hierarchy whenever someone exits musical chairs happens and the department gets a new head. People wonder why we can’t get anything done?

Ministers and political hierarchy should be disconnected. The minister for Housing should be in cabinet for housing related talks and otherwise concentrate on fixing housing. Cabinet can be mostly political appointees with room for the chancellor and maybe a couple of other ministers whose portfolio is usually involved in cabinet discussions.

Hate to say it but Farage is right on this one.

In an ideal world we should all be for sustainable energy , but in the world we are living in currently , where world order is changing it’s not as simple as keeping our goals for the net zero initiative .

There are quite a few points that we need to look at, that will seriously affect labour’s chances of getting in and of setting our country on the back-foot concerning social issues and monetary failure .

Number one is the fact that Ed Milliband is trying to make every landlord in the country comply with a C energy rating , even though it could cost £20 ,000 for each landlord , the estimates for landlords leaving the market are enormous if this comes in , so we would have an even bigger housing crisis on our hands than we currently do .

Even the conservatives put it on the back burner as they realised it was foolish in the present time .
Imagine the uproar of all the renters having to go into hotels etc when the PR sector collapses .
These are all voters that they need to think about .

2 /The fact (rightly or wrongly ) ,that China , India , Indonesia and now the US are not as proactive a they used to be concerning this matter . Do we let them jump ahead of us in terms of business and monetary issues , bankrupting ourselves in the process .

All very tough questions , that have no easy answers for .

Don’t blame him to be honest. Energy is one of the few areas of government that actually has momentum at the moment, thanks to the huge head start given over the last 8-10 years. All he has to do for the next 4 years is occasionally approve the odd additional wind farm/battery site and wait, possibly the easiest job in government at the moment

Good. He’s doing a brilliant job so far.

Let him cook.
