- Interested in the new guidance on assessing new oil and gas projects? Check out this great thread 🧵👇. Perhaps most importantly "Assertions in the press that this makes it more likely that the Rosebank oil field will go ahead are wrong & wishful thinking from the industry."
- The UK gov has just published new guidance for environmental impact assessments for oil & gas projects. Despite reports/industry spin, it includes a genuinely robust, credible approach to assessing the emissions caused by burning oil & gas. Let's take a look! 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525207...
- Important words from @rozfoyer.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2511...
- Brilliant piece from @carorance.bsky.social on the public support for ending new oil and gas and supporting workers "One million people is an enormous show of strength and shows the public appetite for a fast, fair transition away from fossil fuels." www.thenational.scot/politics/251...

- Great discussion at Uplift & @futureeconscot.bsky.social event on securing a fair North Sea transition, at the @scotlibdems.org.uk conference in Inverness. Thanks to panel @miriambrett.bsky.social @amcarmichaelmp.bsky.social @dominicmhinde.bsky.social and everyone that attended & asked excellent qs
- Important thread 👇 digging into the UK's oil & gas licensing regime and energy security. Scottish Labour have a huge opportunity to champion the clean energy agenda ahead of 2026 which means embracing the transition to renewables and calling for proper transition planning for workers and communities
- These comments from @anassarwar.bsky.social suggest a misunderstanding of both the UK's oil & gas licensing regime as well as a failure to grasp how little we can rely on North Sea oil companies to provide domestic energy security: /1 www.newstatesman.com/politics/sco...
- Reposted by IsobelAnother day, another set of claims from the oil & gas industry lobby that don't withstand scrutiny and put O&G executives interests above the public's: 🧵 www.thenational.scot/news/2503389...

- Looking forward to taking part in this panel on Saturday at the @scotlibdems.org.uk conference in Inverness. We will explore what action is needed to ensure the North Sea transition is fair and managed, with @miriambrett.bsky.social @amcarmichaelmp.bsky.social and @dominicmhinde.bsky.social
- If you’re heading to Scottish Labour Party Conference and you're interested in how we can secure a transition to renewables that supports workers, communities and a safe climate, then come along to our Uplift's Sunday Breakfast Fringe. There will be 🥐 and an amazing panel 👇
- Rosebank decision thread 👇
- Breaking: Uplift welcomes a very sensible decision from the Court of Session invalidating the decision to approve the Rosebank oil field. Rosebank is a disaster for the climate & will do next to nothing to create the prosperity & stability that the UK needs. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Important new analysis from Uplift about the potential emissions of proposed North Sea oil and gas fields 👇
- Reposted by IsobelMore proof that the rhetoric reflected in some parts of the press and parliament is out of step with public sentiment: This survey of UK business leaders shows strong backing for the transition away from oil & gas and an end to new oil & gas licensing: www.thenational.scot/news/2474695...
