## Resource

Labour MPs are rallying behind approving the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas projects, arguing that pragmatic energy policy is vital to safeguard jobs, skills, and communities in the North Sea—especially as the UK navigates a low-carbon future amid volatile global oil prices. With Aberdeen already feeling the economic strain of the energy transition, MPs like Bill Esterson stress that oil and gas will remain part of the UK’s energy mix for decades, and that domestic gas from these projects could offer a cleaner, cheaper alternative to imported LNG. A smart tax tweak could unlock billions in investment, jobs, and revenue without subsidies, while unions warn against a sudden, damaging shift. The debate is no longer just about energy—it’s about protecting livelihoods while steering toward a sustainable future.
