Where to earth Type 90 Anglepoise Lamp

I hope you can help, I am rewiring my type 90 anglepoise lamp, using a new plastic lamp holder, new switch and new 3 cord flex.

The issue I am having is that I am unsure where to attach the earth wire. I would like all three flex cords to run the full way up the lamp, rather than et being earthed somewhere near the base.

Can I earth it inside the shade, on the metal mount holding the lamp holder in (blurry pic added, hope you can see what I mean). I was considering using an earth tag.

Or is there a better way to achieve this.

Thanks [IMG]
