It would be absolute madness to approve ANY more oil or gas drilling in the North Sea. Labour came to power promising no more (but pragmatically to allow existing licenses to run their course), instead promising more green energy. That must still be the promise today. 1/2

Depends what Andy means by a “pragmatic approach” to the North Sea Oil issue.

My 'pragmatic' approach is to see existing licences run their course, but nothing new and to see things end as quickly as possible. I believe this was both the spirit and the letter of the Labour manifesto promise in 2024. Anything else is wrong.

Labour were handed an easy win when the courts overruled a Tory decision on two licences, meaning the decision needed making again. It would be wrong to reapprove these and wrong to allow anything beyond them. 2/2

No more Green crap now Miliband's been muzzled.

This will be a real test of the new ESNZ secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh. I know her personal views would mean no more drilling approved. But does she have the political will to stand up for it and block this? If she does, it shows she has a very strong future in politics.

Ed Miliband is actually broadening his net zero success beyond our borders. Everything is connected. Ed Miliband indicates development and climate will be at heart of UK foreign policy | World Bank | The Guardian share.google/jfpGRPUldPxz...

Surely they can have as much oil and gas as they like because by the time they start selling it the market will have dried up.

Didn't Shell announce today they were pulling out of the North Sea and selling their platforms off?

BP, wasn't it? Saw it in passing, so could be wrong.
