The Tories’ ludicrous position on energy was exposed on #bbcqt.
Harriet Baldwin argued drilling more oil and gas in the North Sea improves “energy security”.
Fiona Bruce challenged her:
“If North Sea gas is sold on the international market, how does drilling more make the UK more secure?”
Baldwin had no answer … bc there isn’t one.
The Tories sold off our oil and gas instead of managing it like Norway.
Then Brexit took the UK out of the European Union Internal Energy Market and doubled down on gas priced on global markets.
Now they claim drilling more gas we don’t control will make us secure.
❌ It won’t.
