Starmer defies



Starmer defies Farage on net zero at COP30 summit in Brazil


Sir Keir Starmer rejected Nigel Farage’s attacks on net zero as he pledged at the COP30 summit in Brazil that the Government would press ahead “full speed with the clean power revolution”.

The Prime Minister insisted that the shift to green energy will deliver hundreds of thousands of jobs for Britain and economic boosts in regions across the country...

In a speech at the world leaders’ gathering at the COP30 climate change summit in Belem, in the Amazon region of Brazil, the PM was due to defend his push for clean energy, with more onshore and offshore windfarms, as well as solar power farms, arguing that green power was “the economic opportunity of the 21st century”.



There are two types of knowledge. One is knowing a thing. The other is knowing where to find it. Sir Keir Starmer is a stranger to both.

Not quite Samuel Johnson

“… the shift to green energy will deliver hundreds of thousands of jobs …”

Is it actually possible that he really hasn’t noticed the ground crumbling away beneath his feet?

Peter - it's possible that he has solid promises of a lucrative career after politics and doesn't care. Possible, but he does come across as remarkably limited.

Somebody should tell Climate COPs about video conferencing
Their hypocrisy is becoming more and more blatant.
Note that COPs take place in very warm places now. Ever since the embarrassments of the few held anywhere near the Arctic Circle.
I wonder if they try that old trick of turning the air conditioning off just so all the over dressed delegates can feel the full horror of , dum di dum dum, Global Warming, Sorry, Climate Change?

Doonhamer - it's the blatant aspect which bothers me. It's characteristic of entrenched totalitarian regimes where there is no need to hide hypocrisy because the plebs can't do anything about it. That leaves elites free to enjoy and wallow in the hypocrisy while making it into a show for the plebs.
