Have the new rules for oil been introduced yet, or more likely it’s just on a oddballs whim.

Well, not actually as the 14,000 haven’t been approved. In fact, the task force isn’t operational yet.

One rule for oil, another rule for homes.

They are ghastly indeed, but it’s what will end up being built. Edge of town, grey or green belt, will necessitate car use.

Whilst Rome wasn’t built in a day, it had to start somewhere. Reeves was pleased to announce 14,000 new homes. Well, a task force to try to conclude a process for 14,000 new homes. Meanwhile, 1,400+ new homes are turned down by a Labour council in a new Labour constituency. It seems...

But but but. Labour was a gain from the Conservatives and , as @shmmeee would say, it was in Labour’s manifesto so additional housing should hardly be a surprise, ”Labour will get Britain building again, creating jobs across England, with 1.5 million new homes over the next parliament.”

Is that an oil lamp?

How will it fit if it’s bigger than the shirt fronts?

Polling of a sample of 20% of the electorate. If the cash trade off comes out of their pocket, there will be a backlash Which could actually be ultimately damaging to the net zero cause. Europe is way off the required trajectory already. Mind you, I’m looking forward to the huge savings on my...

I know it’s a global market, I know it’s companies that sell it. I know that the UK does not get a discount from UK produced oil. IIRC UK oil is of a type that needs mixing with another type to produce a refined product for use. I know that governments / states get a revenue stream from the...

It will be good to be an example to the world. They will all follow our lead. Or make a fortune selling energy to the UK.

Does not awarding licences reduce the use of fossil fuels of itself? Personally I don’t think so. There should have been some framework published to apply to future applications, not a blanket cessation of previous and nearly completed ones. TBH you could hardly blame some companies / industries...

So Russian oil sales don’t support the Russian economy and subsequently their investment in their armed forces? They must have a magic money tree then.

Bloody union leaders Sharon Graham, Unite General Secretary, said: “It is quite frankly irresponsible for Labour to keep ploughing ahead with the guillotine ban of new oil and gas licences when there is no clear plan for jobs. “We simply cannot let go of one rope before we have hold of...

Shouldn’t what? Fund Russias war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil?

That’s fantastic.

It also says this. We will ensure a phased and responsible transition in the North Sea that recognises the proud history of our offshore industry and the brilliance of its workforce, particularly in Scotland and the North East of England, and the ongoing role of oil and gas in our energy mix...
