Way to kill the planet

🏀🏀

Dear lord, as if 2026's weather didnt make it clear enough.

He is breaking their manifesto, that calls for a new election

Only pathetic leaders with no charisma or good vision for the country since Tony Blair.. British politics in bankruptcy

Good God… England was once the most powerful empire in the world; today, it is a country without an army, with weak leaders, and where the native population is denied the right to feel pride.

Hmm… 😐 better be sustainable then.

Well,
That’s a good move.
Let’s hope that the Labour will wake up from the disaster that
The Islamic- extreme Leftist wing and move back into being
A centrist party.

Ed SillyBand Would Be a Disaster As Chancellor Mark my words

economic and enviromental suicide

They type like a complete narcissist, of course they are a green voter.

People do not realise how dire the british economy has become. It's tragic , it's big. and it's one of the biggest in the western world. Britain has collapsed, it has failed in growth for best part of 20 years. It's so bad that the average worker puts out the lowest work rate in Europe. Britain needs to stop this gaping wound. It's not ready to completely commit to net zero.

Looks like Trumps gonna happy with Burnham

The Greatest Inspiration Is You ❤️‍🔥

Badly need North oil drill Jackdoor field and Rosebank Labour government set up North Sea oil Britoil sold £2 Billion pounds 1982. We lost £400 billion pounds oil royalties. Noway oil fund $ 1 Trillion dollars Excellent video BBC news.😂 Calcium Mcdonald BBC Journalist witness to me being Italian Labour voters uk passport. Holyrood Sources. Good news for Aberdeen South Scotland. It boost SNP Scotland politically Thomas politcs is the first thing later is money for Britain 🇬🇧 government by above North Sea oil royalties in 2026.

We're doomed

Take all the North Sea oil as soon as possible. Sell it and use it. Leave nothing for the Scots, even if they vote later to leave the UK.
They deserve nothing less, after meekly failing in the referendum for self determination. A disgrace to their forefathers.
And this comment is from a disgusted (69 years old) lifelong voter for independance for Scotand.

The BBC is butressing the same jaded underworld that is funding Starmer, The Punch and Judy team is the same.

But all the lefties here said that Britain was already drilling oil and we don’t need anymore!

Thought oil had run out, according to unionist parties, they’ve been telling Scot’s for 30 yrs that oil, Was running out. Lies all lies to keep Scot’s in their place.

I remember year ago in the NE ICI used to sell petrol at a reduced price, one would assume the product was refined in the UK, if they could do it in the 60's why can't it in 2026?

He’s even farther to the right than Starmer.

By focusing exclusively on optimizing existing, discovered reserves—such as Rosebank and Jackdaw—we bypass the manifesto conflicts associated with "new exploration." The execution relies on three non-negotiable pillars:
* *The National Energy Holding Company (NEHC):* We establish the NEHC to exercise *Mandatory State-Carried Interest (MSCI)* in all assets. This moves the state from subsidizer to co-investor, ensuring the taxpayer captures the upside and retains board-level oversight.
* *Commercial Contract Law over Regulatory Policy:* By codifying this through a bespoke ***Energy Sovereignty Act***, we redefine every license as a commercial **Joint Operating Agreement (JOA)**. This shifts legal disputes from the volatile arena of public regulatory challenges to the rigorous, enforceable realm of contract law.
* *The "Conversion Clause" Enforcement:* Every JOA will include a mandatory scaling mechanism: if an operator fails to meet contractually binding benchmarks—such as establishing domestic refining capacity or hitting carbon-capture (CCS) targets—the state’s equity stake automatically increases, diluting the operator’s position.
By ring-fencing a hard percentage of all revenues to directly fund domestic CCS and renewable hydrogen infrastructure, we transform these resources into a self-liquidating sovereign buffer. This positions the project not as a climate obstruction, but as a necessary, self-funding bridge to net-zero. This framework creates a strategy that is legally unassailable, economically self-sustaining, and politically insulated from both market volatility and partisan churn, delivering a bulletproof asset that secures energy today while financing the infrastructure of tomorrow.

Stop showing up on my feed I do not want to watch #BBC …defund #BBC #UK needs #ReformUK #RestoreUK

And who voted for this? That wasn’t in the manifesto. Maybe he should hold a general election to see if that’s what the British public want? After the heat waves and wildfires we have seen in the UK not sure fossil fuels are the answer. He’s going to be an absolute disaster with no mandate to introduce these policies that no one voted for. He is going to increase taxes too and get rid of the triple lock? Sounds like North Korea.

So, net-zero plans going in the bin? Trump would approve.

THIS GUY IS BEING INSTALLED BY THE CROWN VIA CHATHAM HOUSE.

Brexit is the reason we can't send boats back to france 😂 Farrage is a crook. Burnham seems best option 👌

🤔🇺🇸🤔

Rubbish discussion by BBC

He's the exact same as the last guy 😂

😂the British people are entitled to a general election hes not the prime minister of the UK we the British people did not vote for him

Oil and gas are sold on the international market, meaning local production does not translate to cheaper energy for UK consumers.

Time to start drilling for resources in the Falklands as well.
