Tories warn that blocking Rosebank will help Putin as Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh signals she is likely to reject it
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh has signalled she will not treat Rosebank like Jackdaw, calling it 'an oilfield that is mainly for export'. President Donald Trump has urged Andy Burnham to drill 'full blast'. Union bosses and Labour MPs are pressing for Rosebank too. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is reportedly a firm opponent of the new drilling.
Richard Tice says Burnham has finally lifted 'a policy from Reform UK'.
One Labour MP called Jackdaw a 'drop in the ocean' next to Rosebank.
Jackdaw could supply 6% of North Sea gas and bring a £2.9bn economic boost.
