No doubt, what anyone who is eco-fanass of Ed Miliband needs is the top team of energy and climate change secretary. It seems like we have the Extinction Rebellion (XR) directing UK energy policy.
His special counsel Tobias Garnett, who previously led the group’s legal team in a crucial High Court case, ruled that police banning protests by radicals was illegal as they closed roads around parliament, jumped on a small tube train at the London City Airport, and inspired a strong thing. “Such direct action may be justified to avoid the greater harm of climate change commitments,” Garnett boasted.
The ED team is also socialist Jonty Leibowitz, who advocates for a 100% tax on football pickups and drop-offs from abroad and an additional 2% tax on all transfer fees, while Premier League clubs have higher tax rates. He also believes that “the regional banking industry should be held accountable…to provide funding for the energy transition.”
Miliband’s consultant Eleanor Salter described the XR as “very successful,” writing a 2021 article for the Socialist Magazine Tribune, who believes that “the response to air pollution and climate collapse requires a fundamental shift…including taking many cars off the road.”
In another tribune, fans who call themselves Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders called for “roaming rights” in the countryside to challenge “extremely unequal land ownership on this island.”
This will include the “Gypsy, Rome and Traveler communities” that should not live in “Fear Invasion”.
Salter also advocates “management decline” in industries using fossil fuels.
Rachel Kyte, who was appointed as the British climate envoy for Labor, has previously expressed support for XR, including wearing badges related to the group.
No wonder Miliband has been trying to distance himself from XR, who once compared to the Senator.
