Plenty more to say about why approving new oil & gas fields isn't the right tactic for a thriving, prosperous future for the UK, but even on the government's own "growth for growth's sake" approach, it doesn't make sense to double down on O&G:

The Rosebank oil field - what you need to know 🧵 #PMQs

Kemi Badenoch was pretty loose with the facts about the Rosebank oil field during #PMQs just now. Let's take a closer look shall we? 🧵

Yesterday in #PMQs, Kemi Badenoch referred to “eco nutters” while discussing the #Rosebank oil licensing ruling—remarks made in the same session where MPs acknowledged Children’s Mental Health Week. Let’s talk about why this matters

Energy Transfer's case against Greenpeace is a brazen attempt to silence peaceful protest and undermine solidarity with communities that are directly threatened by the actions of oil and gas companies: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m… 🧵

“If we are serious about strengthening Britain’s defences, we must recognise that energy security is national security — and act accordingly”, writes Matt Western MP 🌹 🇬🇧🇨🇦 🗣️ Energy independence must be a key pillar of the UK’s national security strategy politics.co.uk/mp-comment/202…

We have a new UCL Policy Lab report out, reviewing the scientific evidence on the impacts of new oil and gas fields. It finds that aligning with the Paris goals requires granting no new licenses or development consents for new oil and gas. ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/sit…

BREAKING 🚨: UK Government publishes new guidance that makes it harder to approve Rosebank. The UK gov is finally forcing oil companies to come clean over the enormous harm they are doing to our climate – something that is long overdue. The fight to #StopRosebank is heating up.

I'm in BusinessGreen today on the UK gov't's new guidance for assessing the impacts of oil & gas fields. Despite industry spin, it takes a credible approach to assessing a field's biggest impact--the emissions produced when the O&G is burned: businessgreen.com/opinion/451578… /1

The Met Office has warned that extreme weather is the new normal in the UK. Meanwhile, newly elected Reform politicians are busy denying the science. Climate science denial is dangerous, irresponsible and a betrayal of the very communities they claim to represent.

🚨 BREAKING: The Cure's ROBERT SMITH, Massive Attack, LOLA YOUNG, Paloma Faith, Brian Eno and over 100 other musicians have added their voice urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to stop the huge Rosebank oil field.

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious: yet again, the Tories are claiming that we can get "all our oil and gas" from the North Sea & that we should be doing even more to support the industry to extract. Here's why we should treat that with maximum scepticism:

Genuinely crackers statement from Kemi Badenoch this AM setting out her approach to North Sea oil & gas. As she says, "cheap abundant energy is the foundation of prosperity"... which is why we need to plan to transition away from North Sea O&G and focus on renewables instead🧵

"This isn't a choice between more drilling or imports...It’s between more imports or ramping up renewables. The transition must be better planned...but as long as the spectre of more drilling hovers, govts will continue to delay." My letter in today's FT: ft.com/content/ed9aa9…

The crew of the Global Sumud Flotilla boat Alma — including Greta Thunberg and Sumud leader Thiago Ávila — has been illegally detained by Israel after being arrested in international waters last night. 📢 RAISE YOUR VOICE. 📞 PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENT NOW.
