The right decision for energy security, workers, tax revenue - and for the environment, too. Offshoring emissions may feel good but solves nothing. For now, the choice is importing higher-emission gas from abroad, or using our own cleaner supply and backing British industry.
🚨 BREAKING: The Government has officially approved the Jackdaw gas field for North Sea drilling It's the UK’s largest known untapped gas reserve and will start to supply gas to British homes and businesses from the end of this month

Exactly, the Climate Change Committee estimates that the UK will still rely on oil and gas for 20% of its energy needs in 2050. There is no contradiction in supporting domestic production for this purpose and also championing renewables investment. True progressives can handle trade-offs of this kind, populists cannot. arguably.uk/p/is-net-zero-st…
I think we’re also in this weird place where people don’t understand that Net Zero doesn’t mean zero fossil fuels. Until they invent electric shipping freighters and can substantially scale up non-fossil fuel fertiliser production, the entire world will rely on them.

President Putin is a murderer. His soldiers use rape as a weapon. He has launched wars costing thousands of lives. His agents have stolen children and destroyed families. Russia today is what President Reagan correctly called it: the evil empire.
Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

I really don't want anyone in my country who thinks beheading that poor Bangladeshi couple was a legitimate decision.

I want Britain’s energy wealth to spark a new wave of clean power. Our decision to approve Jackdaw alongside the new Energy Wealth Fund means we invest in green transition and benefit from our existing natural resources.

Nobody assumed you were doing fine. We all thought you were mental.
As one kind commenter observed, it is very easy to glance at people's social media and assume they're doing fine when in fact they're hurtling towards crisis. I am not going to discuss my diagnostic history, but I am not 'fine' and I have not been for a very long time.

Better yet, create the incentive to report 😂 Film evidence and £10 of that fine goes to you. Turns out having to switch from driving to work to taking the train/tube will radicalise you
