Burnham’s #NorthSea #policy is the kind of battle Starmer’s former chief of staff Morgan #McSweeney would have urged him to wage - let’s stick it to the #Labour #Left, mwahaha - which is a major reason why #Starmer is no longer prime minister."

    Controversial #JackdawGasField set to be approved in weeks, sources say

    Simon Jack, 3 September 2026

    "The #UK government is set to give the go-ahead for a controversial new #GasField off the coast of #Aberdeen, the BBC understands.

    "Approval for the Jackdaw project could come in mid-September, just before #Parliament breaks for party conference season, according to government and industry sources.

    "The gas field was approved by the former #ConservativeGovernment in 2022 but was delayed by a legal ruling from a #ScottishCourt, after #EnvironmentalGroups argued consent was given without fully considering the #ClimateImpact.

    "Jackdaw's owner says it will account for 6% of UK gas output when at peak production but environmental groups say it will provide only 2% of UK use when imports are included.

    "Campaigners launched legal challenges after Jackdaw was approved in 2022 and when the #RosebankOilField off #Shetland was given the green light in 2023.

    "The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that #Rosebank and Jackdaw had been unlawfully approved because the government had failed to take into account the climate impact of burning extracted #OilAndGas from the sites.

    "A judge ruled that more detailed climate assessments had to be published, and further estimates were put out for consultation in July.

    "Both Jackdaw and Rosebank are operated by #Adura, a joint venture between energy giants #ShellOil and Norway's #Equinor. Aberdeen-based firm Ithaca also owns 20% of Rosebank.

    "Adura has estimated that Jackdaw could produce 35.8m tonnes of carbon over its 11-year lifetime, the equivalent of 90% of Scotland's emissions for 2023. But it said a more likely estimate was about 23.6m tonnes - equivalent to 60% of the 2023 figure.

    " #Environmentalists insist that more #drilling would be unconscionable, hampering efforts to cut planet-warming carbon emissions as deadly #heatwaves and #ExtremeWeather affect billions across the globe.

    "They also say starting production would not protect energy security and that transitioning sooner to #GreenerTechnologies would be better for supporting jobs."

  20. Golden rapeseed fields stretch towards the horizon, where the #NorthSea meets a rugged headland, creating a serene #CoastalView. The peaceful countryside is dotted with small villages, offering a glimpse of rural life amidst the vibrant #RapeseedField.

  22. Paper released yesterday by the influential think tank #IPPR on #CarbonCapture being a way to make #Rosebank viable.

    But it’s based on science that’s still failing to stack up and very questionable economics.

    Are we to assume this is part of hesitancy from #Burnham to plough ahead with #NorthSea oil and gas? Is he hoping someone can make the argument it’s the ‘green’ thing to do?

    It stinks and needs to be properly called out.

  23. Perched on the outskirts of Scarborough, the view stretches across rolling fields towards the #NorthSea, where the #EveningHorizon glows softly with the last light of day. Clouds gather over the water, casting dramatic contrasts against a fading #SunsetSky that hints at the wild beauty of the Yorkshire coast. The surrounding #CountrysideEscape is peaceful, with open farmland and hedgerows leading the eye to the distant shoreline. It’s a quiet vantage point popular with walkers exploring the coastal paths and enjoying the expansive #CoastalView.

  26. A #Yorkshireman working on a #NorthSea #oilrig rescued an #owl that had been blown nearly 300km off course by #StormAmy - he fed her for a few days and she was collected by a #wildlife sanctuary in #Shetland , checked over by #vets and released

    (it is impressive the lad was able to catch an owl and even had all the kit ready to look after her!)

  27. Golden sands stretch along the Skegness coastline, where the gentle waves of the #NorthSea meet the #SandyShore under a bright blue sky.

  28. Scarborough’s South Bay opens to a sweeping sandy beach along the #NorthSea, framed by a peaceful #SeasideLandscape and soft coastal light. A small #HarborLighthouse marks the edge of the historic harbor, contrasting with the cliffs and green hills that rise toward the headland. The #CoastalView stretches across calm waters toward distant headlands, where the tide leaves smooth reflective pools on the sand. Popular with visitors for its #SandyBeach and traditional seaside charm, the bay offers a tranquil pause beside the bustling town.
