  2. "If @ZackPolanski, the #GreenParty #leader for #England & #Wales, wins the seat Keir #Starmer has just vacated, this could be a major reason why. 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."

  13. 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. In the distance, the silhouette of historic ruins crowns the cliff, a reminder of the area’s rich heritage and its appeal to walkers and sightseers. A soft #SunsetSky paints the landscape in warm hues, perfectly complementing this tranquil corner of the British #Countryside.

  23. The North Sea coast at Seaham, Co Durham this afternoon.
    Looking lovely in bright Spring sunshine just after the ebbing tide had turned.
    Seaham is part of the Durham Heritage Coast which runs from Sunderland in the north, down to the Hartlepool Headland in the south.

  24. One of my great passions is #kayaking yet I simply haven’t had the energy or the inclination over recent months, the irony being that it’s one of the things that would help fix me.

    But a curtain’s lifted lately and I finally felt able to meet up with my paddling buddies today for a foray into the #NorthSea from #Seaham Harbour.

    With oystercatchers darting all around, a stately 1.5 metre rolling swell greeted us. What a welcome back to the high seas for a little bit of fixing.
