Ed Miliband says Labour will 'fight people's corner' on energy costs - but not how

The energy secretary has told Sky News that the government will "fight people's corner" as the war in Iran threatens a fresh energy price crisis.

Mr Miliband said: "We're going to fight people's corner... when it comes to the effects on them. That's why this week, we've been saying to the petrol retailers, the heating oil companies, we're not going to tolerate price gouging. We're not going to tolerate unfair practices.

'Unfair' = 'Oh no, our stupid policies are showing. Shoot the messengers'

It's not fair to say that a "price gouging" claim is the last refuge of the scoundrels. The scoundrels, alas, have many last refuges.

decnine - ha ha, it's the fallback position every time.

dearieme - yes they do have many refuges. Johnson was wrong, there is never a last refuge.
