I’ve written to Miatta Fahnbulleh urging her to fight against the pointless North Sea oil and gas plans which have been rumoured to be ramping up soon. Please copy and paste and do the same. 2/2 @miatta_fahnbulleh_ @andy.burnham Dear Secretary of State, I am writing to congratulate you on your appointment to the Cabinet, and to urge you to use your new position to hold the line against the expansion of North Sea oil and gas infrastructure. As the former Chief Executive of the New Economics Foundation, you have a deep understanding of why expanding domestic drilling is a flawed economic strategy. Under your previous watch, the NEF rightly highlighted that drilling in the North Sea is short-sighted and that true energy security relies on an accelerated transition away from fossil fuels. Yet, press reports indicate that Prime Minister Andy Burnham is eager to fast-track drilling approvals for the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields as part of a short-term cost-of-living policy blitz. I urge you to use your voice in Cabinet to persuade him against this direction. The realities of these projects entirely contradict the government’s clean energy ambitions. The industry’s own environmental impact assessments show that the massive Jackdaw gas field will directly create a mere 27 full-time operational jobs—fewer people than can fit on the top deck of a London bus. Local communities are watching the oil and gas industry lose 1,000 jobs every single month, while the creation of secure green roles continues to lag dangerously behind. #nonorthseaoilandgas #labour #oil #gas #primeminister

Please copy and paste and do the same. 1/2 @miatta_fahnbulleh_ @andy.burnham You have been a powerful advocate for a vision driven by green infrastructure and fairness. I urge you to stand firm against fossil fuel lobbying, challenge the push to fast-track these fields, and remind the Prime Minister that true, long-term energy security will only be achieved by delivering the green industrial transition the British public was promised. Yours sincerely, #nonorthseaoilandgas #labour #oil #gas #primeminister
