I think that when when the reshuffle happened
When Ed was moved
foreign secretary, which I'm sure he's very happy about, it's a great role for him.
But when I saw that, I thought, well, I think they are going to definitely approve these licenses because it's much harder to say no to Ed Millerband than it is to say no to someone who was an i an MP two years ago.
So I think that she could be much more easily swayed.
So we're talking about the consultation and how long it's taken for Rosebank and Jackdaw.
It didn't have to take that long.
The government consultation didn't have to take almost an entire year.
The reason it was so delayed, I think, was because Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves, the former Chancellor, were locked in a stalemate with Rachel Reeves saying, I want this tax receipts and Ed going, No, because I called it climate vandalism and I look like an idiot and also he doesn't agree with drilling it.
And now that they're both out of the way.
Suddenly it's the end of the consultation.
So, you know,
that was coming up on the timeline, but it was it it has been delayed quite a few times.
So I think that um
Basically the long and short of it is it's much easier to say to Meata, you have to eat this one and um go and talk go on the airways talk about the North Dead.
Yes.
So those are disputed.
The companies and the industry say it's gonna be tens of billions, potentially up to a hundred billion.
over the course of their lifetime.
But um campaigners say, oh, actually, because of all the subsidies and the um tax breaks they've had for building the oil and gas fields, it actually works out, funnily enough, net zero.
