## Resource

Incoming UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reportedly poised to reverse Labour’s 2024 manifesto pledge by approving new North Sea oil and gas drilling licenses — a move that’s already drawing global attention, including praise from Donald Trump. With industry data showing a historic drop in UK drilling activity and energy groups arguing for domestic production to cut imports, Burnham’s decision could be his first major test. As he prepares to unveil his economic vision, the drilling debate will pit regional growth against environmental concerns — and silence from Energy Secretary Ed Miliband adds intrigue to the unfolding story.
