I work in gas, and this year we have primarily used gas out of gas stores that we had acquired since COVID. There are big hopes for hydrogen also meaning we will have to buy less oil going forward.That's great, but doesn't mean we are going to buy more oil from Russia like you said.
That’s fantastic.I work in gas, and this year we have primarily used gas out of gas stores that we had acquired since COVID. There are big hopes for hydrogen also meaning we will have to buy less oil going forward.
Shouldn’t what? Fund Russias war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil?Can someone explain to me why we shouldn't?

It's the wrong thread isn't it, I'll take it over there I think?Shouldn’t what? Fund Russias war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil?
Bloody union leadersThe only argument I can see is you’re harming the economy and the only benefit is the climate. Well, yeah. The climate was a tent pole part of Labours pitch and they got elected on a landslide.
But the idea that not letting private companies drill oil in the UK to sell on the global market will harm the UK outside of tax revenues I just don’t see.
So Russian oil sales don’t support the Russian economy and subsequently their investment in their armed forces?Again, this has nothing to do with how much oil we do or don't buy from Russia.

They must have a magic money tree then.

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 another. Until we have clear plans and more importantly investment, we should not be turning off the taps.
“In a less stable world we cannot rely on imports nor offshore our carbon responsibilities.”
Again, yes, reducing fossil fuels will mean fewer people employed in fossil fuels. This is not news.
Does not awarding licences reduce the use of fossil fuels of itself?Again, yes, reducing fossil fuels will mean fewer people employed in fossil fuels. This is not news.
Does not awarding licences reduce the use of fossil fuels of itself?
Personally I don’t think so.
TBH you could hardly blame some companies / industries if they basically said fuck the UK, we will invest elsewhere.
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.Im sure some oil companies will do that.
Someone has to leave oil in the ground, why not us?

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.You really need to read up on how oil is purchased and sold

I know that governments / states get a revenue stream from the sale of oil from its territory - whether that is in the form of licence fees, royalties or taxes or a combination of any and all of those.
Yeah, but i think there would have been uproar if the party with the highest number of seats was not involved in govt. We'd have probably ended up having another election 6 months later.Labour and the Lib Dems in 2010 had much more in common ideologically than the latter did with the Tories.
I want voting change but I didn't like that method. It just seemed messy and wouldn't please anyone or be truly representative.
Interesting tweet from him...See Ben Habib has been replaced as Deputy Leader of Reform? Richard Tice his replacement.
I do get a bit annoyed at the amount of blame the Lib Dems get for the coalition when they were the 'junior' partners. They were clearly not going to get huge amounts of their policies through.One Lib Dem proudly boasted about getting the Tories to agree to their plastic bag charging policy by voting with them on austerity and cuts to welfare
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.That’s the trade off: cash for climate. It’ll make the overall mission of growth harder, but, like from what I see of polling most Labour voters, that’s a trade off I’m more than willing to make.
Think we already know quite enough about you rubbing Starmer’s magic lamp
Would be huge if this happened.

Is that an oil lamp?

This was bought up on Question Time last night and wasn't really answered. The point was made that its all well and good the government saying crack on and get building but you need to stop local MPs and councillors campaigning against developments because they're worried about votes locally.Labour councillors not quite on message here

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,This was bought up on Question Time last night and wasn't really answered.

tbf the Labour MP that was on said that he'd essentially done a hand holding exercise in his constituency and got people on board with the idea but that seems like it will use up a lot of time that's probably better spent elsewhere.
Get back to rubbing Starmer’s lamp before it gets coldDidn't realise the next parliament had finished already!
