Put bluntly, Milliband is from a Marxist stable, and his “ Strategy” is nothing more than nationalising the NS. All other words are confetti sprinkled by a SPAD.

“Labour are woefully ignorant on the North Sea”. Maybe not so much woefully as wilfully . Starmer needs Milliband to bolster his position. Milliband is a Marxist raised old school communist at heart and dead set intent on nationalising NS oil and gas. Starmer blows hot and cold on major issues and always seeks the least personally harmful. WFT stays as long as Milliband does.

Sarwar is something of a muppet in Scotland. Inherited his father’s constituency but not his intellect. Will back up anything Starmer says for obvious reasons. Will find a difficult life from the folks in the Aberdeen and North East area. Not a serious voice.

“ Labour doing fine with their policies”. The Tories have nightmarishly disconnected these past years, but a Labour government with Starmer and Milliband in the driving seats will be Armageddon. Ideological idiots perpetuating a class war for personal aggrandisement . Anti capitalist clowns meddling in businesses they don’t understand. Utter stupidity underpins their energy plans.

Romaron, I’m open to being educated too. A stonking ops report tomorrow would be a great start , but I fear there is more chance of Trump entering a monastery.

If Shell do plan to make the move, I hope they announce their intention very soon.

Milliband has flip flopped more than Starmer , he will do and say whatever he thinks necessary to regain the party leadership, but is a lot more left wing than he postures. I’d be happy to see him replace Starmer .

Milliband is on record as describing himself as a Jewish Atheist. Hardly a strong religious card to play.

I sense a behind the scenes power struggle here, with Milliband intent on a Marxist move to nationalise energy in all its forms. Starmer is a crowd pleaser and will wait to hear what the crowds on Tyburn hill are demanding. Great opportunity for Sunak if he wakes up.

Great find Dumbly ! How can Starmer square these statements and promises with what has been announced in the last week? Seems to me he could well be saying whatever it takes to keep Milliband happy, what do you think?

Good idea, I think “ Maggie “. Starmer would get some unwanted attention.

Morning Sekforde, interesting contra position to Romaron. Until Beseisu gives us the low down on current performance and future intentions, you could both be right. Who knows. I am not perturbed by Pat McFaddens comments. He is an apparatchik and a disciple of Milliband. Wee Pat is another of today’s politicians who never had a real job, going into politics straight from education. A Glaswegian who falsely trades on that great city’s blue collar heritage, while firmly remaining one of those ‘ more equal’ than the rest of the animals in the barn. He’s on message nothing more.

Stevo, good point, well made.

Stev you might be right about Enquest and bankruptcy , but until we see the operational update, the outcome for full year 2023 , and the Tories response to Labour’s latest hint at a manifesto, I’m afraid you come across as the prophet of doom. As my old Scots Granny used to say, misery loves company. Let’s wait and see.

Bseisu has never put his head above the parapet. I have said for years he lacks the leadership characteristic needed to lead from the front. Bright engineer he might well be, and heavily invested too, but aside from a few whimpers at a Davos conference, he seems invisible, like a mouse when a cat is prowling. His previous generous donations to the Conservatives must be galling given the treatment meted out to his company.

Good shout Dumbly. Sunak and Hunt can play havoc with Labour after this latest statement. By putting actual numbers to Labour’ s “ Green Manifesto” and presenting them in a simple Janet and John format, the public can get a true grasp on the current and future cost of renewables and how it would impact the man in the street. Additionally they can highlight the horrific costs of expanding the grid, the folly of attempting to build electricity storage banks the size of a small country , and pinpointing the lies Milliband and a Starmer have spouted . I would pay good money for a ringside seat.

Where did Starmer say it would be only the majors KO? Haven’t seen that, but would be good news for Enquest if true. My thoughts today are that Labour are not rock solid on what they will do on the energy front, is Milliband pushing the drive? Does Starmer back him or will he hang him out to dry if they run into rough net zero weather. I’m more inclined to the Labour key players as Fred Karno’s army, and if the Tories stop fighting each other, the GE could be a much closer run thing than is supposed. Labour have an opportunity to govern , not because of their

Excellence but because the Tories absolutely frigged the economy. Is there a way back for Sunak?

Romaron, thanks, irony is often lost on a thicko like me. You are of course, right about the need for the NS companies to put the boot into the Govt. A thought on that has occurred to me . It is entirely possible that this has indeed happened , changes have been agreed, but been embargoed until Sunak determines the optimal political moment to announce it. Does nothing for our blood pressure of course.

Funny old country we live in, maybe I should go back to Jockland.

Romaron, what is good about cratering a successful O and G industry? I don’t follow your logic.

Probably.
