Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus@DrTedros·3h

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. #ChoosePeace

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: msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…

@ClaireCoutinho Here you go, Claire. Why Drilling for Oil and Gas Will NOT Reduce Bills or Deliver Energy Security. @UKERCHQ ukerc.ac.uk/news/drilling-…

English

Claire Coutinho@ClaireCoutinho·3h

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?

@Samson1176 It won’t be “our own”. Unless you are one of the big, international oil and gas CEOs.

English

John De Lacy@Samson1176·14h

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

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.

@clim8resistance Gasoline is over $4 a gallon, Ben. And the oil and gas shockwaves have barely reached the U.S. yet. What does Ben know about anything?

English

Ben Pile@clim8resistance·1d

What does Zack know about energy economics? What does Zack know about energy? And what does Zack know about economics? 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 can't afford Ed Miliband. The energy crisis is existential & the mistakes made are unforgiveable. 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.

"Drilling can't lower bills" is the new "Building houses won't make them more affordable".

Rachel Millward@rachelmillward

Miliband is caving into Reform pressure to approve drilling that he knows won't lower bills. The solution for permanently lower bills is to go all out on renewables, not dance to the tune of fossil fuel lobbyists and their friends in politics.

Ben Obese-Jecty MP@BenObeseJecty·1d

Yet another u-turn after yet another Labour policy collides with reality. Approving the new Jackdaw gasfield is the right decision, so why couldn’t Ed Miliband see that in the first place? This should have been approved months ago to improve our domestic energy security. This type of ideological zealotry simply cannot survive in the face of current world events. We cannot afford to have politicians who hold luxury beliefs. With the Government unwilling to acknowledge the long-term impact of the Iranian missile attack on Ras Laffan in Qatar, and with us significantly reliant upon foreign gas imports, its high time Ed Miliband faced up to the reality of his brief.

Ed Miliband@Ed_Miliband

8️⃣ A fair transition for the North Sea. The first G7 oil and gas producing country to end new oil, gas and coal licences. Ensuring no community is left behind, with offshore workers leading the world in the industries of the future. Banning fracking for good.

A huge U-turn. Will lower bills. Will improve energy security and insulate from expensive LNG price shocks. Sends a clear message to the world that Britain is turning away from the Net Zero fantasy towards energy sanity.

Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.
