Pembrokeshire Labour MP Henry Tufnell says that Britain must scrap ‘woke ideology’ and ‘embrace energy sovereignty’

Amy Nicholass, lead candidate for the Green Party in Ceredigion Penfro, has criticisesd calls to lift the North Sea oil drilling ban - slamming South Pembrokeshire Labour MP Henry Tufnell’s comments this week, as ‘utterly irresponsible’.
Mr Tufnell said this week, that Britain must scrap ‘woke ideology’ and ‘embrace energy sovereignty’ to save struggling families and revive industry.
It is more than 50 years ago that the nation suffered a major oil crisis because of war in the Middle East. The Green Party came into existence then and has been arguing ever since for a sensible transition to renewable energy and home insulation, all things to stop our addiction to oil.
Amy Nicholass, Lead Candidate for the Green Party in Ceredigion Penfro, remarked: “The main reason I am standing for the Green Party is that I feel one Government after another at Westminster and the Senedd have let down my generation and those that come after me.
“I'm absolutely fuming that despite huge amounts of evidence that climate chaos is here already, and is only going to get worse, leading to unnecessary suffering around the world, we have politicians, whose main job is to keep us safe, openly calling for a lifting of the ban on North Sea oil drilling. This is utterly irresponsible behaviour.”
Amy is referring to MP for South Pembrokeshire, Tufnell who this week stated that: “The road to net zero is through oil and gas.”
