Tories pledge to get all oil and gas out of North Sea
The Conservative Party pledges to remove net zero requirements on oil and gas companies in the North Sea to focus on maximizing extraction. The plan, announced by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, aims to get all oil and gas out of the North Sea. This move has sparked backlash from environmental advocates like Uplift's Tessa Khan, while the Liberal Democrats and Labour have criticized the Tories for what they call irresponsible environmental policies.
