Labour May Lose 50 Seats to Greens Over North Sea Drilling
Internal research suggests that if the government approves new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, Labour could lose up to 50 seats to the Green Party in the next election, mainly in constituencies where voters demand stronger climate action. The Green Party emphasizes opposition to further licenses, citing resulting voter support for urgent climate policies. Labour dismisses the findings, stating they are inconsistent with their focus on energy security and lower bills, while some MPs express concern about supporting expanded drilling amid climate and energy crises.
