For example, claiming he only supported Corbyn because he knew Labour wouldn’t win, that women can have penises and that we will be using zero carbon electricity and saving £1400 a year on our electricity bills in 5 and a half years time.
Labour have never claimed to save you £1400 on your electricity bill with green energy. They have claimed that they will save you £300 though by decarbonising electricity generation. It’s not even that controversial if you look at the cost of producing electricity by each means. Renewables are cheaper, the more you bring renewables on line while phasing out nuclear and fossil bills should come down. It’s just basic maths. So you’re wrong on that and everything else just sounds like hyperbole.
Up to is going to be key there, devil is always in the details.
I was quoting this article

only had a very quick google but it looks like the £1,400 figure was the maximum (hence the up to) saving when energy prices skyrocketed a couple of years ago and the government had to step in and subsidise bills.
I've got a decent sized garden in comparison to modern ones. say 5m x 8m front and back. Not massive but decent enough. Much of the back is filled with a garage but it's alright. Tore out the lawn for more plants/flowers so happy enough.
Where are you getting figures for minority British, are you assuming everyone non-white is not British as the only figures I can find are for ethnicity.
I'm sure he just bashes the keyboard while in ChatGPT, asking for a bigoted post in inflammatory language while using 'sources' like this:
In other words, a completely meaningless statement.
You are also ignoring the pledge that it electricity will be entirely zero carbon in 4.5 years or less. How long does it take to build one nuclear reactor? How many wind turbines would be needed? How many acres of land would have to disappear under solar panels (preventing the building if 5 story eyesores on those acres)?
I agree that renewables are cheaper, but 100% renewables delivered in 4.5 years? Enough supply to support all the electric vehicles and heat pumps being forced on us? And what happens when the wind is too fierce or non existent on gloomy days? It wouldn’t matter what was happening elsewhere in the world then, would it?
You said Labour had never used £1,400.I was quoting this article
Is Labour's energy plan realistic and how would it affect bills? - BBC News
BBC Verify examines the claims over the party's plan to stop using fossil fuels for electricity by 2030.
Either way the point still stands the more you bring renewables on line while phasing out nuclear and fossil bills should come down.

I can’t believe the level of cronyism and incompetence will continue and maybe it is a last chance for democracy before populism wel and truly takes over for a season or a generation
No government on their own can make this country better it’s down to each of us and each community
Exactly what will happen here.How Jacinda Ardern left New Zealand on the brink of blackouts
Fallout from country’s oil ban offers dire warning for a Labour-run Britain
The party “will not be issuing licences to explore new [oil and gas] fields as we accelerate to clean power”, a Labour spokesman confirmed on Tuesday.
It follows last weekend’s announcement that New Zealand’s government was lifting a ban on new oil and gas exploration.
The ban was announced by former prime minister Jacinda Ardern in 2018. “The world has moved on from fossil fuels,” Ardern proclaimed at the time.
New Zealand’s trailblazing policy, which was the first of its kind, became a key inspiration for the Labour Party’s own plan.
However, some in the party are now questioning the commitment after New Zealand resources minister Shane Jones last weekend denounced
its own ban as a disaster – and revoked it.
It followed three years of rising energy prices that have left 110,000 households unable to warm their homes, 19pc of households struggling with bills and 40,000 of them having their power cut off due to unpaid bills, according to Consumer NZ.
Since April the situation has further deteriorated: Transpower, the equivalent of our National Grid, warned that the nation was at high risk of blackouts.
New Zealand’s shift to renewables meant it no longer had the generating power to keep the lights on during the cold spells that mark the Antipodean winter, said Transpower, as it begged consumers to cut their electricity consumption.

I’m not that stupid, however there are huge solar farms being installed in fields not all that far from where I live And there is a reason for that.

Casts an interesting light on the whole Labour strategy of whoring out to the Daily Mail and renouncing anything vaguely progressive.
