Yet again, Keir Starmer says, “#oilandgas will be with us for years to come.” Of course it will - because relatively little is being done to reduce demand. But killing off our own domestic supply, only means we will need to import more with >4x the carbon output to get here!

“#oilandgas will be with us for DECADES to come”, is the same vacuous platitude, in response to more warnings to Rachel Reeves that #windfalltax is causing £billions of loss to the economy. 🇬🇧 has the longest lasting windfall tax "because of politics and not economic reality".

Shortly, Rachel Reeves is going to take more money from you. This is because she messed up.   Conservatives left office with an economy badly beaten by the pandemic, but on the up. It’s taken Labour less than a year to completely derail it.

Absolutely right Michael Shanks MP. Also... 200,000 people working in #oilandgasindustry across the UK - well paid, skilled jobs that will most likely go overseas. It’s time for a new direction in Scotland, away from the SNP’s ideological block on new #oilandgas

Miliband rolling back ban on new #oilandgas licences in the #northsea? Looks like licences MIGHT be awarded for fields able to tie back to existing infrastructure. Step in right direction, but really also need to see an early removal of #windfalltax. tinyurl.com/3av76ncy

Credit to Prof John Underhill at University of Aberdeen, and BCC, #northsea Transition Task Force. BUT, we really need a FULL roll back of ban on new #oilandgas licences AND an early (actually long overdue), removal of the EPL/#windfalltax agcc.co.uk/news-article/m…

Very important intervention from Elspeth SFF New #ecocide legislation must not ’inadvertently’ bring legitimate and regulated #fisheries activities into question Unfortunately, there are environmental extremists who would like nothing more than to see an end to #fishing.

That ‘middle way’ #renewables AND (not OR) #oilandgas is precisely what sensible professionals, academics and Scottish Conservatives (at least in NE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!) have been advocating all along. SNP and Labour chase green votes and Reform pretend we can go back to 1999!

I agree with Stephen Flynn MP 😮 ! Only reason I watch STV News is for it’s non-Central Belt bias.

An honour to be asked by Institute for Development and Diplomacy to speak in opening panel at the inaugural Azerbaijan 🇦🇿- UK 🇬🇧 Dialogue Forum in #Baku today. Important for global order that countries like ours to share knowledge and best practice on #EnergySecurity as well as the #EnergyTransition. #ANDnotOR

Genuine questions for Neil Gray MSP: • Will this app contain records of medical treatment received across the UK? • If requiring medical attention elsewhere in the UK, will the app be able to provide relevant information for that? • If not, why not?

ICES are known for providing “over-precautionary” advice, with which Ministers (at Holyrood as well as Westminster) should make the final #fisheries management decisions, along WITH other data, including from #fishingindustry, communities and markets

Follow-up question for Wes Streeting - will different systems communicate with each other for the benefit of those people living, working and moving between different parts of the UK?

We’ve heard, “We are going to be reliant on #oilandgas for many years to come”, SO many times before it has become meaningless. But adding, “I would prefer us to be using oil and gas from the UK than importing in from overseas”, is genuinely refreshing. agcc.co.uk/news-article/c…

The Family Farm Tax will come into force 6 months from today. Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 there is still time to do the right thing and u-turn at Budget on this ideological choice to inflict harm on our family farms and businesses. Conservatives care, we get this and we will

Strange position to take for a prospective #Aberdeen MSP - particularly one claiming to be a "strong advocate for the #oilandgas sector” 🤔 Rather than listening to the #oilandgasindustry, Ms Laing appears to be getting her lines from The Labour Party Conf (and not even a recent one!)

It is one thing to peacefully support the cause of the Palestinian people and their desire for their own state. It is quite another for that same flag to be waved in the incitement and glorification of violence against Jews and the state of Israel. We MUST be better than this.

In a world of increasing energy demand, 🇬🇧 is the ONLY country in the world shutting down a significant part of our own #homegrown energy supplies. As long as we need #naturalgas, as much as possible should come from our own sources. Claire Coutinho #CPC2025 #northsea #oilandgas

The next Conservative government will axe Labour's Family Farms Tax.

“good jobs IN the #EnergyTransition”, must include those jobs - not to mention the skills, technology and supply chains - that ALREADY exist in #oilandgas. We must be mindful of the REALITY of where and what we are transitioning FROM, not just what we hope to transition to.
