Andy Burnham vows UK will hit net zero target despite Jackdaw gasfield approval

Andy Burnham has said he will not “abandon the responsibility” of fighting the climate crisis after the government approved the Jackdaw gasfield, pledging to block new North Sea licences and keep Britain on track for net zero by 2050.

That’s the headline, but it’s worth teasing out the language used by the UK Prime Minister, Andrew Burnham and his Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Miatta Fahnbulleh.

It is not the language of sincere political leaders aiming to convey important information in an honest and responsible manner, it’s a low-grade script.

But we expect that.

Burnham

Said – he will not “abandon the responsibility” of fighting the climate crisis
Said – he wanted to make the transition to a greener future “on our terms”
Said – I want to be clear that our determination is unwavering,
Said – he was conscious of the “acute global instability” affecting energy security and wanted to treat oil and gas workers with more dignity.
Said – he is “personally committed to confronting” the challenges of the climate crisis.
Said – Britain has just emerged from its hottest summer on record, during which we had nurses collapsing on hospital wards, bus drivers working in intolerable conditions and families losing everything to wildfires
Said – More extreme weather is forecast in the months ahead.
Said – The climate crisis is no distant threat. It is here, on our doorstep, affecting people’s lives and livelihoods.
Said – I am personally committed to confronting it, and I will not abandon the responsibility we have to future generations.

Fahnbulleh

Is – “really concerned” and “quite sad” about the breakdown in consensus about the climate crisis.
Said – I think it’s a sad place where Reform has gone and got to.
Said – But I’m even sadder about the Tories because they know better
Said – It has been really painful and tragic to watch that consensus burn
Said – It’s people’s livelihoods, it’s their jobs, their communities
Said – Even if you don’t care about climate – care about that, you’ve got to take action.
