Why is oil from Russia acceptable, but oil from Aberdeen not?

On the exact same day that they voted to shut down our own oil and gas industry in the North Sea, the Labour Government announced that they would lift sanctions on Russian oil.

That means that under Labour, we will be shutting down our own oil and gas industry, while buying diesel and jet fuel made from Russian oil.

Back British Oil

Labour is shutting down North Sea Oil. While easing Russian oil sanctions, enabling Putin’s war machine.

Drilling North Sea Oil will reduce our reliance on imports. Protect 200,000 jobs.

And it will raise billions in tax revenue which can be used to cut bills.

Sign the petition to get Britain drilling. This petition will be presented to the Labour Party before the Autumn recess 2026. https://www.whatlaboursaid.com/back-british-oil
