Yes

@InfernalBore @KathrynPorter26 @DaleVince investors.ithacaenergy.com/sites/ithaca-i… Petrojarl Rosebank currently off Namibia heading for the North Sea... marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details…

@Haleric2 @KathrynPorter26 @DaleVince Can you source that Rosebank plan. As far as I am/was aware there's currently no subsea infrastructure in place, no FPSO, and no production wells have even started to be drilled. Even at irresponsible speeds, that would put it 24 months away from commercial extraction.

Mel Stride doesn’t live in the real world. He dodges the first point put to him, that more drilling in the north sea can’t help us this winter or even next - because it could take around five years to get anything new out. Instead he answers a different point - that global markets set the price of our North Sea oil and gas - so making more here can't lower our energy bills. His point about indirect benefits is all well and good, but as above - that’s coming in maybe five years time - if at all. And bear in mind our North Sea has been in decline for 30 years and has just ten years capacity left. It’s 90% depleted already - a new report last weeks says 93% - either way it’s all but gone and we don't set the price of it anyway. It’s a massive distraction from the real job - energy market reform to disconnect us from global oil pricing, which actually sets the price of our green energy too. A mad mechanism that Mel’s party passed legislation for - to enable them to break it - and then failed to follow through on. Oh and his argument that we need to make oil here not buy from abroad, shows he knows nothing - Rosebank, that massive tax payer funded project currently not going ahead, is Norwegian owned and none - NONE, of the oil it might produce would land in Britain. That’s the reality of our North Sea oil and gas. And our total embrace of global commodity markets - which serve only big business interests.

@InfernalBore @KathrynPorter26 @DaleVince Rosebank...First oil is currently planned for Q4 2026 Jackdaw...First gas/condensate production is expected in Q3–Q4 2026

@KathrynPorter26 @DaleVince Is there any subsea infra at Rosebank, or even any large-scale prep work so far? The idea it could be producing in months, even if everything was greenlit tomorrow, is...fanciful.

@KathrynPorter26 @Ed_Miliband @UKLabour Wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of a political backlash from Norway re refusal of Rosebank and Jackdaw....not a smart move by Labour.... but then nothing new in that....

My analysis of why @Ed_Miliband and @UKLabour are wrong not to maximise North Sea oil and gas production, and what they should do if they really want to address the impact the Iran war will have on the cost of living telegraph.co.uk/gift/f4eddeef2…

@prestonjbyrne Seriously..? Don't....not while this Cabinet of Clowns are in charge.... as things things stand...an election in 2029 maybe too late to change anything anyway....

I actually *could* become British, if I wanted to, but I can fight harder if I don't take citizenship.

@MartinSLewis Thanks...👍

PS these fixes are still far more costly than pre-crisis or at the start of the crisis. These are primarily for those on the price cap who want rate certainty. I've only posted it as the cheapest have been far costlier in recent days, so this is the best we've seen in the last week.

@7Kiwi It seems likely that the EU will struggle to rebuild gas storage sufficiently for next winter (currently at 30%?)...suspect Brussels will be leaning heavily on Norway to supply which might cause one or two headaches for the UK especially if domestic prices rise in Norway....

Relying on the kindness of strangers to supply electricity over interconnectors is a naïve and stupid strategy.

@Shtarkasm @Osint613 @AZ_Intel_ Think positive....Starmer will be gone shortly...probably 8th May...

@Osint613 @AZ_Intel_ Too little, too late. Trump is right, UK hasn’t been acting like an ally. The sad reality is that when the UK will need us, they will expect the mighty US to come to their rescue all the same.

BREAKING: 🔴 Britain has given the United States the green light to use RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to carry out raids on Iranian missile sites that are attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz, The Times reported on Friday. Contributed by @AZ_Intel_.

@RobertJudd4 @KathyConWom Ironic considering the planet is actually "greening up" further due to the rise in Co2....😏

@KathyConWom Plus send another £6billion on top of already £11.6billion to overseas countries to help them green up. Never mind looking after your own first!

Ed Miliband has presented his plan to deal with the world’s energy crisis. Is he going to start drilling in the North Sea again? Is he going to finally cut energy bills by £300, as he promised? Is he going to make sure we have ample gas storage in future? Nope! According to a government press release, they are going to go ‘further and faster’ in becoming energy secure. Yes, @Ed_Miliband, that will REALLY SOLVE THE CRISIS!! conservativewoman.co.uk/the-climate-sc…

@LiamHalligan ...seems she's about to get a very sharp lesson in accounting...normally Labour run out of money towards the end of their term...looks like being a lot earlier this time...

So the UK's 10-year gilt yield - the cost of government borrowing - is now up at 2008 levels. An 18-year high The difference is that, back then, UK national debt was 48pc of GDP, and now it's the best part of 100pc. So the debt service costs are much MUCH heavier. Of the £14.3bn the UK government borrowed in February alone, no less than £13bn of that was spent on interest on existing debts - a situation which is not only unsustainable, but very close to provoking a disastrous financial collapse. Yet still, our national discourse is all about more spending, more borrowing, more "state intervention". When is the Labour party – and much of the listless, unthinking rump of the UK's political and media class – going to start acknowledging reality? WHEN ....?

Eventually Europe will regret this deeply....their stupidity knows no bounds....

Congratulations to Cuba on reaching net zero

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Ed_Miliband It's clear he/they, are controlling the agenda with a narrow focus pre recorded interview...save yourself some time and cancel...it's not like you'll learn anything new...

Tomorrow on @ItvMLshow I'll be doing a short pre-rec interview with the Sec of State for Energy @Ed_Miliband specifically on Home Heating oil and LPG intervention (not wider issues). Do you have any practical questions on that you'd like me to ask him (times short so can't promise all)

Retweet if you support him.

@toadmeister EU gas storage is 29% and still being drawn on...they will find it difficult/expensive to replenish stocks before next winter...I'm surmising they will lean heavily on Norway, perhaps to the detriment of the UK and the Governments daft self inflicted Net Zero policy...

Ursula von der Leyen's nuclear epiphany should trigger her resignation, says Ben Pile, but it won't. It's the latest sign of desperate European elites waking up to the utter catastrophe of their energy policy. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/15/urs…

@EssexPR @EdwardJDavey That so many people support him as Leader of the LD's is alarming....

@EdwardJDavey You really are an idiot

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence. Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry. We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.
