Richard Tice’s renewables ‘gotcha’ blew up in his face and Ed Miliband’s takedown was simply electric

To the House of Commons today where Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice had a question about renewal energy for the energy secretary Ed Miliband.

And very excited he was about it too. Except it wasn’t the gotcha he thought it was and Miliband’s reply – and the look on Tice’s face – is one of the most satisfying things you’ll watch today.

Watch Ed Miliband school Richard Tice on clean energy Vs fossil fuels.

Took the wind right out of his sails.

And here’s just a little bit of the love people had for that.

When he sits down confident he has made a good point only to realise Ed Miliband has just schooled him on taking back control.

@TiceRichard was absolutely put back in his ignorant box there – mind you he is thick as
That was really funny to see his face waving his bit of paper

To conclude …

I really loved the “and take back control” with clean energy and renewables from Ed Miliband. A sublime touch. Tice is a fool.
