Andy Burnham’s messaging on oil and gas in the North Sea is being led by Donald Trump, according to frustrated politicians who want clear answers. He said he’s going to open up North Sea oil.” Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian Mackay said on Thursday: “By letting Donald Trump call the shots on the North Sea, Andy Burnham is tearing up one of the clearest promises Labour made to win power in 2024. “The choice facing Andy Burnham is whether he listens to the oil and gas lobby – and its main cheerleader, Trump – or to the majority of the UK public,” she said. It makes no direct mention of North Sea oil and gas, and no follow-up clarification was offered.
