The new Dodgy Dossier
Tony Blair is wrong on green energy. High bills come from fossil fuels and a rigged market — not renewables.
THE big mouthed, beer swilling, chain smoking bloke who brought us Brexit is working on a sequel. Britain’s exit from Net Zero — we should call it Nexit.
While Brexit was an economic disaster, our economy lost over £100bn, promised trade deals never came — worst perhaps, taking back control led to immigration doubling. Nothing Nigel Farage said about Brexit turned out to be true.
Against that experience we should judge his latest claims — that we can’t afford Net Zero, that we need to drill for oil not build windmills and so on. Nexit will make Brexit look like a paper cut economically — if we allow him to get away with it.
Our polling shows that the British people overwhelmingly believe that the climate crisis is manmade and must be tackled. Net Zero is the gateway to the green economy. The economic and industrial opportunity of the century. Turning our backs on that would make Brexit’s economic harm look and feel like a paper cut.

Cold homes, high bills and rising anxiety show Britain’s energy system is failing. It’s time to put people before profit.
Labour’s moral test is whether it can cut energy bills, end fuel poverty and raise living standards by embracing clean power and fair reform.
Britain’s energy bills are artificially high. Three simple reforms could cut costs, protect jobs and end exposure to global gas price shocks.
Breaking the gas price link could slash energy bills, cut inflation and add billions to the economy, according to new modelling.
