General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

Claire Coutinho the Shadow Energy Secretary complains about dirty foreign gas.

"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?"

Do you think she doesn't understand the difference between 'sold abroad' and 'sold on the international markets'? Seems like the sort of distinction the Shadow Energy Secretary should understand.

A minute of looking it up:

The UK is a net importer of gas, but exports gas to Europe in the summer when we're not using it for heating, as we have little storage capacity. Those exports are something like 40% of our total production.

Most of our winter import is also North sea gas, piped from Norway, not 'dirty foreign gas'.

Of course permission to close rather than maintain the bulk of our gas storage was granted by the Tories. I have a feeling it was Truss that signed off on it.

It's just a bag of guns.

Khan is not fit to be Mayor.

Vote @reformparty_uk and @policylaila to rid our capital city of this disaster of a Mayor.
 
Hearing rumours that there’s going to be announcements that Starmer is finished and will be gone by the end of the week.
