BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

This flow of money is thanks to Rosebank co-owner, Ithaca Energy, who are majority-owned by Delek Group. Through this connection, Delek has already made over ONE $BILLION from North Sea oil and gas exploitation. Andy Burnham must end this pipeline of profit.

If approved, Rosebank could send £200 million to Israeli energy giant Delek Group, known to operate in illegal settlements in the West Bank and supply fuel to the Israeli military via subsidiary Delek Israel. This is morally indefensible.

Don’t let us down @andyburnham.bsky.social “if you destroy nature, you destroy the core on which our economies depend. This is not some kind of a flower-power, tree-hugging exercise. This is core economics. This is core financial stability, core price stability.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Despite the windfall tax, generous tax breaks also mean UK public shoulders over 80% cost of developing new fields. Rosebank could result in a net loss of over £250 million to UK Treasury, while owners Equinor & Ithaca would earn £1.5 billion in profit. upliftuk.org/post/drilling-…

@simonpirani.bsky.social explains below how France and Norway have installed far more heat pumps than Britain, but in both countries the most common type is air-to-air, which is cheaper and generally much easier to install and operate than air-to-water – the type that dominates in the UK. 1/6

Thanks for this really insightful article George CCS is a fossil fuel stitch-up - now with data centres. More data centres ⏩ more gas+CCS ⏩ more LNG ⏩ more methane ⏩ more heat🔥 Burnham has a chance to stop this spiralling - data centre moratorium, move CCS funding to green economy, no Rosebank

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial.
