Frankly, I think that’s one of our duties to our northern European allies.
I believe in three key things – supporting Scottish jobs, strengthening our country’s energy security and building the renewables industry that we are going to need in the future.
While we still need oil and gas, we should be decreasing our reliance on countries in the Middle East and from friends of Vladimir Putin.
I’m angry and upset for 1100 BP workers in the North Sea who, during a brutal cost of living crisis, will be fearful about their future and their family’s livelihoods.
