The case against refusing Jackdaw and Rosebank asks us to believe that refusing British production somehow removes the demand for oil and gas.

You have to reduce the demand before you can realistically start talking about where you're sourcing it from.

At a time when petrol prices are soaring and people’s energy bills are rising, it makes no sense that we’re not using resources available on our own doorstep.

Failure to support the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields will only leave us more reliant on costly imports and mean thousands of workers in the North East miss out on new job opportunities.

Offshore wind has a role to play in Scotland’s energy system, but the SNP cannot put all their eggs in this basket and then not deliver the investment required.

This stark report exposes that the SNP have again failed to back up a headline-grabbing announcement with concrete action.

Progress on this vital scheme is painfully slow. It appears the Scottish Government has delivered barely a fifth of what they promised.

This announcement is deeply concerning and highlights NHS Grampian is at absolute breaking point.
