Liz Kershaw blamed ‘Net Zero zealots’ for the price of coal and all these burns should keep her warm at least
Former Radio 1 DJ and much else besides Liz Kershaw – you remember – isn’t happy about the price of coal.
Not only is she not happy about the price of coal, she’s really not happy with the ‘net zero zealots’ who she blames for the escalating price of her favourite DIY fossil fuel.
I went to buy a bag of “coal” as its nearly 0 degrees and dropping. But it’s now 12 quid a 5kg bag. And 22 quid for 10kg! At all the local shops, supermarket and garage. And of course it’s imported. And not even coal because that’s banned altogether now. Because of #NetZero.…

Such lies, and so unnecessary too, because the real picture is far more ordinary, far less dramatic, and not remotely the fault of Net Zero.
The first point is the “coal”. What is being sold in garages and supermarkets is smokeless fuel, not coal. Coal for domestic burning was… https://t.co/IH7akFIv09

Liz, you’re lovely and all, but coal as a way to heat your home is not efficient. If you think it is, then great.
But it is not
Yes, there is millions of tons below the ground. But it’s not a great thing, it’s expensive to mine…and there are no miners now.— Sir Rowley Gherkin QC (@TransChicken2) November 19, 2025

Coal is where it should be , in the ground. not because of net zero, but for common sense.

Did we mention that Kershaw is an occasional (very possibly frequent) contributor to GB News?
No more questions, your honour.
