Top Energy Department Mandarin Showers Praise on "Inspiration" Ed Miliband – Guido Fawkes The Permanent
Secretary at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Jonathan Brearley, can barely contain his excitement at
the arrival of Miatta Fahnbulleh to the department, or his admiration for Ed Miliband. What are the impartiality
requirements again? In a Linkedin post Brearley, who used to be CEO of Ofgem until recently, gushed about the incoming
and outgoing ministers: “I would like to say a very warm welcome to our new Secretary of State Miatta Fahnbulleh ,
who I’m delighted is returning to DESNZ to lead our nationally important agenda. Miatta’s portfolio will see her
tackling some of the biggest challenges this country faces, from guaranteeing our energy security to electrifying our
economy, keeping energy bills down and maintaining progress on climate change. The work we do in the months and years
ahead will be crucial for building a stronger, more economically vibrant and self-reliant Britain. Showing leadership on
a global scale by tackling the climate crisis, while empowering people in every region of this country to participate in
the clean energy transition. And, of course, I want to thank Ed Miliband for his two years of service as Energy
Secretary. He came in with a clear plan and worked flat out to implement it, and the achievements speak for themselves
– from kicking off the country’s biggest programme of new nuclear in fifty years to consenting enough clean
energy projects to power the equivalent of 23 million homes. He has been an inspiration to many of us who work here.
Joining DESNZ means taking on this huge, once in a generation task and I look forward to supporting Miatta Fahnbulleh to
do so.” From the Civil Service Code on social media use: “We must take care about commenting on government
policies and practices and should not do so without the proper authorisation. We should avoid commenting altogether on
politically controversial issues.” Fans of markets and/or capitalism are concerned about the elevation of
Fahnbulleh, who has supported various mad policies including getting to net zero by 2034. Is it any surprise that the
supposedly ‘impartial’ civil servants are fully bought into the politics? Westminster Spad List SUBSCRIBE

Burnham Tom Baldwin, author of Starmer’s hagiography, spoke to Times Radio: Tom Baldwin: “I think he’d
like to do something. He’s very dutiful and driven by service. That’s why he came into politics. I think
that’s characterised his time as prime minister. He hasn’t always sought popularity or been good at being
popular. But I think he has some of the necessary qualities that we actually do want in a prime minister. That
resilience, that relentlessness, that ability to carry the weight and the job really does weigh very heavily on people
and he carries that weight very, very well.” Jo Coburn: “NATO Secretary-General?” Tom Baldwin:
“I think that’s something that he would be interested in. I think it probably requires Andy Burnham’s
government to support him in that and these are some of the questions which Andy Burnham has to resolve quite
quickly.”
