Good, this is a dick move orchestrated by his new advisor. A huge chunk of Labour are appalled by this stupidity

    We're not going to fully switch to renewables overnight. As it is we're relying on oil and gas from the middle east and the US. Why is becoming more self sufficient (or in partnership with Norway) in this area such a bad thing?

    I can be persuaded Jackdae makes sense, we consume a lot of LNG from America which is more co2 intensive and expensive than getting it out the north sea, and Jackdaw will primarily be used for that. Rosebank however has no such excuse, it would be used exclusively for selling crude oil to the global market and isnt replacing anything, thats the one to watch if it gets approved.

    It’s convenient for him and his stakeholders that the Green Party can be dismissed as Corbynite anti-Semitic terrorists
