Mad Ed Miliband's fantasy land just got blown apart in one huge way

I'm beginning to wonder if that Supreme Court ruling on sexuality - a statement of the flipping obvious; that to be a woman you have to be, er, born one - is having wider implications than simply getting the nation thinking straight on basic biology. I'm thinking of Tony Blair's refreshing bluntness this week about net zero ('doomed to fail').

Would he have chosen to speak the truth about our hopeless wishful-thinking on reducing carbon emissions to nil, were it not for the new climate of no-nonsense straight-talking, kicked off by those judges a fortnight ago? There's been a change in the national mood; an alteration in the atmosphere. You can almost taste it. Overnight, it's OK to say the emperor has no clothes. To name that elephant standing in plain sight on the other side of the room. Call a spade a spade.

What Blair said about Britain's net zero targets was long, long overdue. The problem has been that, just as those who dared to state that a woman can only be a woman if she has the XX chromosome were shouted down, bullied and libeled as trans haters, those who had the gall to ask if net zero was remotely achievable without colossal cost and inconvenience, were slandered as climate-change deniers.

Blair took a deep breath and met that hysterical chorus head-on. And good for him. He was explicit in his demolition of the dreamworld politicians like Ed Miliband have been dwelling in; a fantasyland in which they insist we join them.

No longer. The illusion is shattered; the mirror crack'd. Our former prime minister directly accused the government and people like Miliband of being 'terrified' to admit that their climate policies are simply not working, and never will.

'Too often, political leaders fear saying what many know to be true - the current approach isn't working. Political leaders by and large know that the [net zero] debate has become irrational. But they are terrified of saying so for fear of being accused of being "climate deniers".

'As ever, when sensible people don't speak up about the way a campaign is being conducted, that campaign stays in the hands of those who end up alienating the very opinion on which consent for action depends.'

Blair could have been talking about the whole trans debate (as was) couldn't he?

A fearfulness to speak the truth about biological sex in case of being 'cancelled'; an unsustainable, intolerable situation which resulted in Kier Starmer spouting complete nonsense about cervixes and penises.

Now, thanks to Blair, we can begin to talk sensibly about cutting carbon emission. Drop ludicrous targets that bear no relation to what is achievable or affordable. Stop, in effect, wearing a hair shirt in a pointless effort to expiate the sins of the REAL climate-warmers: China, south-east Asia, and America.
