'Bring on the fight' over net zero, energy secretary Ed Miliband tells critics
Wrapping up a two-day summit on energy security in London, Mr Miliband said clean power provides "energy security, lower bills [and] the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st
Wrapping up a two-day summit on energy security in London, Mr Miliband said: "The critics need to know that if they want to fight about this, this government says 'bring it on'."
Bring it on? Strewth - whatever Weird Ed thinks he's fighting, it's rather bigger than he is and considerably more intractable than a bacon sandwich.
It's not something he can defeat with clichés and finger-wagging either, reality doesn't pay attention to such things.

It's amazing what you can get away with if you don't listen, deflect questions, and repeat meaningless slogans.
It's not the fight with political opponents he should be worrying about. That's just the warning. If he wins that fight, he'll be fighting reality. It's as if the train driver has locked the door, berated the passengers trying to break it down, and is throttling up for the buffers.
I am convinced that until the problems directly affect them or their families, whether it is power cuts or immigrant violence, none of those in power, either politicians or civil servants will make any real move to stop this madness.
It is the same world wide. Only in the U.S. has Donald Trump begun a clear out at last.
Sam - yes it is amazing what Ed gets away with, but I suppose once anyone tries the technique and has some success with it, then it becomes a habit. It makes him seem quite mad, but in a sense he is mad because he's enmeshed himself in an evasive approach which is not dissimilar to dementia.
John - I'm sure you are right. We are better at dealing with what affects us directly than we are at dealing with what only affects other people. Change is only likely to come after a very hard collision with reality which directly affects people such as Miliband.
