Despite ‘control freak‘ Sue Gray’s not-so-svengali wrangling causing chaos with government appointments, Labour SpAd teams are coming together and beginning normal operation. Over at DESNZ Ed Miliband’s squad brings some unorthodox ideology to the table…
Miliband is retaining his long-term advisers. Guiding the UK’s energy policy operation will be climate activist Tobias Garnett, the former coordinator of Extinction Rebellion’s legal strategy team who represented the road-gluing activists in court. Garnett believes our trajectory is currently “descending swiftly into a politics of ecofascism forged in the crucible of scarce resources, droughts, floods, climate wars and forced migration.” Doesn’t quite sound like politics that will “tread lightly on people’s lives”…
Also on the team is Jonty Leibowitz, whose passion is arguing for socialist reforms to football that include:
- A 100% tax “imposed on transfers from abroad“. Just like China’s…
- Extra 2% tax on all transfer fees with higher rates from Premier League clubs.
- To fix “the deep wealth inequalities between the men’s and women’s games“, introduce a “mandatory wealth tax or levy for all clubs which do not promote equal resource and pay for both games“. An own goal against your own national sport…
When it comes to his energy brief Leibowitz’ contribution is a policy paper which argues that “regional banking” should be forcibly re-oriented to “financing the energy transition“. Ideas shared by radical Corbynite and “green” bank devotee Miatta Fahnbulleh – recently appointed energy minister…
SpAd Eleanor Salter’s focus is “integrating nature into the climate offer“. Salter thinks a “fundamental shift” is required to deal with the “climate breakdown“, which includes “taking many cars off the roads altogether.” Her other “nature” proposals include allowing anyone to traipse across private property to make “the countryside open to all” but especially to gypsies, whose “access rights are already under threat from the authoritarian Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which seeks to criminalise trespass.” And who would have guessed that Salter once said our “best sources of hope” come from Jeremy Corbyn, and that Extinction Rebellion has been “hugely successful… a great accelerator for activism”…
SpAds are often relied on to temper the barmy ideas of their Cabinet Minister. No chance of that in Ed’s team…

Spotted at former Labour councillor Ricky Jones’ “cut all their throats” speech on Wednesday was a woman ironically sporting an Amnesty shirt. As Jones has been charged by the police for “encouraging violent disorder”, one co-conspirator thought to contact Amnesty International on the concerning nature of a member cheering on Jones…
The charity that describes its mission as “exposing human rights abuses” responded in somewhat of a ‘nothing to see here’ way, claiming that the Amnesty activist in the video was “distracted and hadn’t heard the speaker’s comments when they applauded generally with the crowd.” Despite the fact Jones had a megaphone and was standing right next to her…

Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
