Scotland's last oil refinery is to close with the loss of more than 400 jobs despite assurances from Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband, giving the lie to claims about Net Zero jobs and a "just transition".
A 17-word tweet by Donald Trump, criticising Keir Starmer for abandoning North Sea Oil, sent the BBC into meltdown, writes Paul Homewood on the Daily Sceptic.
Donald Trump has told Keir Starmer to "open up" the North Sea and "get rid of windmills", as the President-elect attacked the U.K. Government’s Net Zero energy policy.
One of the North Sea’s biggest oil field developments is in jeopardy after developers put the project on hold following a crackdown by Ed Miliband.
Ed Miliband has delivered the "final blow" to North Sea oil as he bows to Greenpeace and refuses to fight a climate lawsuit brought against two of Britain’s biggest oil schemes, meaning they're likely to be halted.
Ed Miliband is reportedly set to end new drilling in the North Sea and the cost of Net Zero is projected to run into the hundreds of billions. The scene is being set for the failures that could bring down the Government.
Ed Miliband has ordered an immediate ban on new drilling in the North Sea – overruling his own officials and risking triggering a wave of legal action.
Keir Starmer has been accused of dragging Britain back "to the dark ages" by risking a £4.5 billion hole in public finances with Labour's ban on new North Sea oil and gas.
Sir Keir Starmer is standing by a pledge to ban new drilling in the North Sea, despite New Zealand abandoning a similar policy made by ex-PM Jacinda Ardern amid blackout fears.
"North Sea oil workers cannot be sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero," the Unite union has told Labour as it launches a campaign against the party's "irresponsible" green agenda.
