Shapps: It’s irresponsible not to grant oil and gas licenses
It would be "irresponsible" not to grant new oil and gas licences in the North Sea, Grant Shapps has said.
The Energy Security Secretary pointed out that expanding the licences aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's goals of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Shapps stressed that securing these licenses is both compatible with the nation's energy needs and a crucial step towards meeting climate objectives, making it a sensible and rational decision.

Gareth Southgate has resigned as manager of the England men’s national football team after almost eight years at the helm. It comes just two days after England’s defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024. Despite that disappointment, Southgate has taken the Three Lions to two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final during his time in charge. Prince William, President of the Football Association (FA), tweeted his thanks to Southgate for his leadership. The FA says the process to appoint Southgate’s successor has begun, and they aim to have a new manager confirmed as soon as possible. Report by Jonesia.
