'Andy is getting it done': Trump praises Burnham over Jackdaw gas field and says Starmer never managed it

President Donald Trump spoke to Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Friday, then told reporters at the White House that Britain is 'opening up the North Sea oil', although Jackdaw is a gas field. He said he had pushed for it 'for two years'. He called the move 'against the liberal principle' but said Burnham 'knows what's right'. The Rosebank oil field decision is still pending.

Burnham insists Labour's net zero 'determination is unwavering' despite approving Jackdaw.

Ministers say Jackdaw will lift domestic gas output by 6% and bring a £2.9bn boost.

Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh will have the final say on Rosebank, with legal challenges expected.
