That's well put, Ubes. The best I can say is, he means well. He's going to be a disaster for Starmer.
Anybody who prioritises their own ideology ahead of the wellbeing of the economy doesn’t mean well, Goldie; they’re an idiot.
This is just plain wrong. North Sea oil is extracted by private companies who sell it on the open International market. It's not 'ours', and stopping North Sea drilling won't have any impact on energy costs in the UK. Still, don't let the facts get in the way of you posting your Twitter mates' bullshit.
The revenue for the UK government in 2022/23 from taxes and licences for North Sea oil production was over £10 bn. That will decrease.

James Melville @JamesMelville Ed Miliband has ordered an immediate ban on new drilling in the North Sea. This is a ridiculously stupid decision. It will drive up domestic energy and fuel prices and leave the UK totally exposed to the next energy crisis whilst being reliant on foreign energy import supply. please log in to view this image 1

We now now have an energy minister who wants to get rid of energy. We have 5 years of this lunacy. please log in to view this image Ed Miliband just made blunder that'll cost UK billions and spark legal tsunami From express.co.uk
More bullshit from my Twitter mates https://x.com/juneslater17/status/1811769196885475655?s=46&t=IY6M0zI1h1T3HNaXabWIhQ
It's incredible out on day release from a secure unit for the mentally incapacitated, hard rocker, hip swinging Ded Silliiband has managed to secure a job in The British Government. He'll be playing music to windmills, singing to solar panels and stroking electric cars( not his own obviously, he doesn't have one) and recycling his own waste, in an effort to create a greener Britain. 2
Jesus Uber, this **** is pathetic. Do you have any views of your own, or do you just get them from idiots on X?

Well well, turns out Ubers X pals had got it all wrong anyway..... 'A complete fabrication': Government denies claims Ed Miliband has banned new North Sea oil licences (cityam.com) No, Ed Miliband Has Not Banned Drilling For Oil In The North Sea (msn.com) As previously stated, we will not issue new licences to explore new fields. We will also not revoke existing oil and gas licences and will manage existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan. Amazing what you can find out in the real world.
