Sir Keir Starmer is accused of smothering Britain in red tape after Labour set up new quango every week since election victory
Ed Miliband has created four new bodies to help push through his controversial plan to decarbonise Britain’s electricity system by 2030.
The first, Great British Energy, was announced the day after the election, and was billed as a state-owned energy company, although it remains unclear whether it will ever produce electricity.
Four days later, Mr Miliband announced the creation of Mission Control, a new advisory body which he said would help him devise and deliver the Government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.
In September, the Energy Secretary announced the creation of a new National Energy System Operator to help ‘accelerate Great Britain’s energy transition’...
Then, in October, Mr Miliband set up the Solar Taskforce, which will examine issues such as whether to make solar panels compulsory on all new homes.
I doubt if anyone sane expects this absurd government to deliver anything worthwhile. It's a sinecure fight for personal bureaucratic security as Europe goes down the tubes.

All the quangos and charities will still be around when TTK is kicked into touch!
Hopefully, Nigel Farage will be dismantling their sinecures from day one!
There will, of course, also have to be Departmental Liaison Teams, Working Parties and Steering Groups. Plenty of jobs but no action. Just what the clerisy ordered.
You could argue that this worship of Gaia is just a cult and all the decarbonisation activities are just cult confirmation activities and therefore not necessarily applicable in the world outside the cult.
Scrobs - I'm not convinced that Nigel will do anything much even if he has the opportunity. He'd be up against a tangled mess of obstructions, much of it legal.
DJ - I think it is a cult, a variation of nature worship we've seen throughout history. Career opportunities, totems, indulgences, propaganda and vast amounts of money make it difficult to topple as well.
JH: It also needs a Bonfire of the Quangos.
Obviously Norn Iron have escaped this madness.
Property prices outside Great Britain boom.
All eyes on Germany, the great Energiewend unwinds.
You all might be poorer but you have made your great great great grand grand children's world 0.000001 C colder.
Pass the blanket.
JH - a big one.
Doonhamer - wind is contributing 8% of UK electricity generation at the moment. Ed thinks quangos will solve that problem and move us towards the final goal of being virtuously 0.000001 C colder.
