An excellent piece in the Telegraph:
Taxes were pushed up too much in the Budget. Global stock markets have been rattled by Donald Trump. And business and consumer confidence has collapsed.
There were plenty of different factors that could explain the unexpected 0.1pc drop in Britain’s GDP reported on Friday. And yet, you hardly need to be Hercule Poirot to figure out who the real culprit is: the climate-obsessed Ed Miliband, our Energy Secretary.
The decline was led by a massive drop in manufacturing production. In reality, the collapse of Britain’s industrial base is turning into a national emergency – and Miliband has to go before he wipes it out completely.
According to Rachel Reeves, Donald Trump was to blame for the disappointing and unexpected fall in output reported this week. Without naming the US president directly, she argued that “the world has changed, and across the globe we are feeling the consequences” – as she attempted to deflect the blame away from the government she is a part of.
If she genuinely believes that, then Reeves is even more deluded and ignorant than even her most persistent critics realised. In reality, the person to blame sits around the cabinet table with her, not five thousand miles away in the Oval Office. It is her colleague Ed Miliband.
