Fossil fuel giants, the right wing press and politicians are using war on Iran as an excuse for North Sea oil drilling. Miliband should say no

The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them.
Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him.
Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military.
Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals.
He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry.

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching.
Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher.
That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel)

You cannot bomb your way to trust, nor can you shoot your way to lasting safety. The history of the Middle East has reminded us of this truth time and again. Every new act of violence deepens wounds, fuels resentment, and sows the seeds of conflict for years to come. If we seek a future free of fear and mourning, we must first stop feeding the flames of hate and violence. The path forward, our only path forward, is the hard, courageous choice to build peace.

We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since 1 January 2026, because Israeli authorities are blocking aid.
Read from our medical adviser in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals and clinics:

Why Drilling for Oil and Gas Will NOT Reduce Bills or Deliver Energy Security.
@UKERCHQ

English
For years Ed Miliband has peddled the myth that North Sea gas is all ‘sold abroad’.
This is RUBBISH.
All of it is used here and it’s about half of our supply.
Without it we’ll import more dirtier gas from abroad.
Where’s the sense in that?

@7Kiwi David is struggling to understand political signals.

Jackdaw and Rosebank together are little more than 5 days of global oil supply. Climate quacks can't do maths.

@john4brexit John needs to grow a backbone for the future generations that will suffer massively from the insane pursuit of extracting and burning more fossil fuels.
English
Miliband expected to block North Sea oil drilling-Keir Starmer needs to grow a backbone, overrule Ed Miliband and open up both Jackdaw and Rosebank immediately. It is mad that we are not exploiting our own resources in the middle of an energy crisis.”

@Samson1176 It won’t be “our own”. Unless you are one of the big, international oil and gas CEOs.
English
Probably because nobody is suggesting we’re going to use any more oil/gas than we’re already using. It’ll just be our own with far less transport, far more jobs, far more tax. The no brainer of all no brainers.
Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas
Did @BBCr4today really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
English
@JockyRocks Because you’re leaving out the monumental health and environmental costs of burning that oil and gas.
That’s what not to like.

@ScienceUnite Never said it would but it would mean

It’s mind blowing that clueless people like her believe this nonsense
The oil and gas in the ground and below the sea bed is owned by the Crown
Oil companies buy licences to extract it, and pay 75% tax on the profits
Zoe Gardner@ZoeJardiniere
It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

@jemmm85517813 A doctor advocating for digging up more fossil fuels, when the medical community already understands that air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for 9 million premature deaths. Per year. Every year. 🤦🏻♂️

Using our own energy resources makes us independent by definition. There has been no natural gas price shock in the USA. We need to increase production.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

I’m done with this emotional blackmail dressed up as climate science. At moments like these, we need to put the national interest first.
Britain needs offshore drilling + onshore drilling + new nuclear.

We're not sitting pretty, despite billions being thrown at renewables. They blew up power stations whilst tilting at windmills & applauding Greta Thunberg in Westminster.
