ICYMI – UK folk hero Jeremy Clarkson skewers a High Priest of the Cult of Moloch on the reality of how government rules on Climate Change are destroying the UK’s Agricultural Industry

destroy UK production - replace everything destroyed with imports - at the same or higher prices and ignore the lower emissions standards in offshore markets - just like the North Sea - more TREASON!!

Jeremy Clarkson Destroys Ed Miliband Over Net Zero – The Parliament Showdown That Shocked UK

Here’s the first three minutes of the transcript.

“Jeremy Clarkson just delivered the most explosive testimony Westminster has seen in years—and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband was left speechless.

Called before Parliament’s Energy and Climate Committee, Clarkson didn’t hold back.

He exposed the government’s Net Zero policies as completely disconnected from reality, tearing apart the push for electric tractors, solar panels on farmland, and regulations that are bankrupting British farmers.

Ed Miliband tried to defend the green agenda. He talked about climate targets, technological innovation, and government support. But Clarkson dismantled every argument with brutal precision.

Electric tractors that run for 4 hours instead of 14? Clarkson called it “suicide” for farming.

Importing food from countries with no environmental standards while shutting down British farms? “You’re not saving the planet—you’re just moving the problem and destroying livelihoods.”

Then came the killer blow. Clarkson asked Miliband directly: “Have you ever grown food? Worked land? Raised livestock?” The answer was no. “So you’ve never done it, but you’re going to tell people who have exactly how to do their jobs.”

The room went silent. Miliband tried to recover, citing research and modeling.

Clarkson laughed: “When was the last time you visited an actual farm?” Miliband mentioned a vertical farming facility in Leeds. Clarkson’s response?

“That’s not a farm—that’s a warehouse with grow lights.”

But the most devastating moment came at the end. Clarkson asked about Miliband’s personal electricity bill and what powers his car.

Hybrid—not fully electric. “So you’re pushing policies you yourself won’t comply with.” The committee erupted. Miliband sat down, visibly shaken. Clarkson had made his point, and everyone knew it. This is the showdown that has Britain talking.

Here’s the transcript:

The committee room was smaller than the main chamber, but no less tense. Rows of

chairs filled with MPs, journalists, and policy advisers. Cameras positioned at multiple angles. The atmosphere electric with anticipation. Jeremy Clarkson sat at the witness table, arms folded expression unreadable.

Across from him, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband shuffled papers, preparing for what everyone knew would be a confrontation. The committee chair cleared his throat. Mr. Clarkson, thank you for appearing before the Energy and Climate Committee today. We’ve invited you to discuss the impact of net zero policies on rural communities and agricultural practices.Clarkson nodded once. Secretary Miliband, the chair continued, you’ll have the opportunity to respond and engage in discussion. Milliban smiled thinly. The battle lines were drawn. Mr. Clarkson, the chair began. You’ve been vocal about concerns regarding electric farm vehicles and renewable energy mandates. Could you elaborate? Clarkson leaned forward slowly. I’ll make this simple, he said, his voice calm, but carrying an edge. The government’s net zero policies are going to destroy British farming. Not damage it, destroy it. Miliband’s smile faded. That’s quite a claim, he interjected. Clarkson turned to face him directly.

It’s not a claim. It’s a fact. and you know it. The room tensed immediately.

Secretary Miliband Clarkson continued, “You’re pushing electric tractors.” Electric farm machinery. Do you have any idea, any idea at all what that means in practice? Millie Band straightened in his chair. Mr. Clarkson, the transition to green technology is essential for answer the question.

Clarkson interrupted. Do you know what it means in practice?

A pause. I’m confident that technological innovation will.

That’s a no. Then murmurs rippled through the room. Clarkson didn’t wait for a response. Let me educate you. A modern farm tractor runs for 12 to 14 hours

during harvest season. Plowing 500 hectares, moving between fields, pulling heavy equipment. He leaned back. Your electric tractor, best case scenario, it runs for 4 hours before needing a recharge. And that recharge takes another 6 to 8 hours. Miliband opened his mouth to respond. “I’m not finished,” Clarkson said quietly. The energy secretary closed his mouth. “So, in the middle of harvest, when weather windows are tight, when you got maybe 72 hours before rain destroys your crop, you’re telling farmers to stop, plug in, and wait.” Silence.

“That’s not farming, Mr. Miliband. That’s suicide.”

The room was utterly quiet now. Miliband cleared his throat.

Mr. Clarkson, I understand there are transitional challenges, but the climate crisis demands the climate crisis, Clarkson repeated.

Right. Let’s talk about that. He pulled a folded paper from his jacket pocket. This isdata from the National Farmers Union. British agriculture produces 9% of the UK’s total emissions. 9%.He looked directly at Milliband.

Meanwhile, you’re importing food from countries with no environmental standards whatsoever. You’re shutting down British farms while flying in vegetables from Spain, meat from Brazil, grain from Ukraine. Miliband shifted uncomfortably.

Our net zero targets apply to domestic emissions. Exactly.

Clarkson’s voice rose slightly. Domestic. So, you destroy British farming to hit a target, then import the same products from abroad where they’re produced with higher emissions.

You’re not saving the planet. You’re just moving the problem somewhere else and putting British farmers out of business in the process.
