Douglas Lumsden: “This result sends a clear message to Labour and the SNP: their war on North Sea oil and gas must end.”

A lot of voters across Aberdeen see this whole episode as making the SNP not trustworthy.

The hostile policies of both the SNP and Labour, with their refusal to back new drilling, is economic vandalism at a time when we should be maximising the resources we have.

Things have changed now. There is no windfall to tax.

The destruction of the North Sea oil and gas industry must stop now.
