Kemi Badenoch tears into Starmer over North Sea oil and gas production at PMQs

Kemi Badenoch demanded Keir Starmer ramps up North Sea oil and gas today as Britain faces the fallout of the Middle East energy crisis.In a bruising PMQs session, the Tory leader insisted Sir Keir could increase production within months by approving the Rosebank and Jackdaw projects.She insisted that 'everyone' including unions, Tony Blair's think-tank and even the renewables industry supported the move.Sir Keir said there was a 'legal process' which meant Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband was responsible for taking the decision.He said that oil and gas was still coming from the North Sea '24 hours a day', but stressed he wanted the UK to transition to clean power.But Mrs Badenoch shot back reminding Sir Keir that he was the PM, asking if he was going to let Mr Miliband 'run the government'.
