Andy Burnham, the newly elected UK Prime Minister, has indicated a willingness to take a pragmatic approach to oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, acknowledging its importance as a resource, particularly when people are struggling. This comes after US President Donald Trump claimed Burnham would 'open up' the North Sea. However, Burnham has not yet released his energy agenda, and allies deny he will overhaul the ban on new licenses. The UK aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and has been reducing fossil fuel development.
