⁉️What is the PM talking about? His Budget just kept the Energy Profits Levy -the windfall tax - until 2030! This is complete incompetence. 👉There is no windfall. 👉But Oil & Gas companies are still paying windfall taxes. 👉By the PM’s own logic the EPL must be scrapped. Now.

Nothing any Government gives away is “free”. No “free” breakfast clubs, no “free” healthcare. In Scotland, no “free” tuition fees or “free” prescriptions. It’s all taxpayer funded. Taxpayers pay, whether they like it or not, for all the“free” stuff. Not the Government.

🥃 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is iconic. It’s recognised worldwide, employs over 40,000 people and adds £5bn to Scotland’s economy. ⚠️But decision to allow English whisky to be labelled as ‘single malt’ despite being produced to different standard risks undermining the status of our Scottish single malts. I asked the Government today how they’re going to ensure this doesn’t happen so we can protect one of our key industries.

John Swinney has (again) spent his day again focusing on the SNP, not on Scotland.

🇬🇧 🥀 Labour think banning new oil & gas will make the UK more “energy independent”. 🇳🇴 Norway think drilling their oil & gas will make them more “energy independent”. I know who I think is right.

The Government had a choice today - ☑️To vote for North Sea oil & gas sector, its jobs, skills investment, tax and domestic supply… Or… ❌To vote for more foreign imports. 🥀 They chose imports.

Ed Miliband says thinking gas prices will fall is a "big gamble". 🎲I'd take that bet. Very happily. Gas prices will rise. And they will fall. What won't fall is the sky high offshore wind price (higher than the current gas power price) Ed has signed us all up to for 20 years.

So a year from now – almost 2.5 years after Labour’s general election win, when they promised GB Energy would be the answer to #OilAndGas job losses in Aberdeen / North East, we can look forward to… just 100 GB Energy jobs. We are losing that weekly from the oil & gas sector.

China is a threat. So we’d expect the Energy Secretary to have discussed his energy deal with China with the Security Minister before it was signed. The deal effectively gives China access to our energy grid. Doesn’t sound like he did. Ed really was trying to keep it secret.

Oil & gas, steel, refining, agriculture - all on a watchlist after the Government voted through the 7th Carbon Budget. Labour’s plans mean we will import more, produce less and be poorer for it - all in the hope that others will copy us. 🤷‍♀️They think "climate leadership" is reducing our DOMESTIC emissions…while importing the same products with the same or more emissions from overseas.

Cute cutting Jeevan!😘 But here's our actual exchange. 👉Its NOT an either-or when it comes to oil & gas or other energies.👈 The skilled workforce, supply chain expertise and investment from North Sea oil & gas companies are vital for successfully growing all types of energy.

The Government could approve Jackdaw and Rosebank today. They could choose to support the UK’s oil & gas sector, its workers and energy supplies today. It’s their choice. 🥀 They’re choosing not to.

Since imposing the Family Farm and Family Business Tax, the Government have told farmers & business owners to "get their affairs in order". What they meant was to rely on the 7-year rule for Inheritance Tax transfers. 🥀Now we hear reports they are to remove this lifeline. 1/2

Saying we must "stop drilling North Sea oil & gas to tackle climate change" is just wrong. Everyone knows we need oil & gas. ✖️We can either pay billions to import more & more - at a higher carbon intensity... ✔️Or use our own - benefitting UK jobs, economy & energy security.

Countries around the world envy the UK’s oil & gas rich geology and the skilled energy workforce. 🥀 If only Labour felt the same. This sector doesn’t need warm words from Burnham - it needs real change. That cannot just be Jackdaw and Rosebank… Labour’s ban on licences and the Energy Profits Levy must go too.

❓Kicking off the new year with- what should be - an easy question to the Energy Minister. Interesting answer...given I asked about #oilandgas prices and didn't mention the Energy Profits Levy! How can the Energy Minister not know the price of energy? Not even ballpark figures?

Conservatives voted to stop Labour’s ban on new licences, end the EPL and permit Rosebank and Jackdaw. 👉Labour voted against 👉SNP didn’t vote 👉Only 1 Reform MP turned up The Aberdeen South by-election is a referendum on oil & gas. It’s clear which party is fighting for it.
