Burnham to face Badenoch at PMQs as Labour attacked over Jackdaw gasfield approval
Source Summary
The UK government approved the Jackdaw gasfield, which will begin supplying gas to homes and businesses by month's end. Environmental groups including Greenpeace UK have condemned the decision, arguing it will not reduce energy bills, boost energy security, or create significant jobs, while providing only 2% of UK gas demand over roughly ten years. The approval is expected to feature in Prime Minister's Questions between Andy Burnham and Kemi Badenoch.
Why it matters
The Jackdaw approval represents a major UK government energy policy decision that has triggered immediate political and environmental opposition, with critics arguing it contradicts climate commitments while delivering minimal economic or energy-security benefits.
