00:00We know that the government won't approve Rosebank because this is an ideological belief for them.
00:06There is no common sense.
00:07In fact, the only reason why they approved Jackdaw yesterday is we've just discovered
00:12that the energy regulator Ofgem have actually explained that we don't have enough gas
00:18for a single day of peak demand in winter.
00:23This is a shambles.
00:24Labour sat on that decision for two and a half years.
00:27Andy Burnham had the audacity to blame the Conservatives, and now we know that we have a shortage coming.
00:34We are now going to see taxpayers' money being spent on importing gas from Europe
00:39when, if they'd done what I asked them to do back in February, that gas would be warming homes this
00:44winter.
00:45The government is a disgrace.
00:47They're not doing what is right for the country.
00:48They won't approve Rosebank until we end up in a precarious situation.
00:53And I will keep calling on them to do the right thing and drill our own oil and gas in
00:57the North Sea
00:58so that we don't have to rely on imports so much.
