Cambo: UK Government says oil and gas cannot be ‘abandoned overnight’ after Sturgeon opposition
The UK Government has refused to back Nicola Sturgeon’s opposition to the new Cambo oil field off Shetland – and warned jobs are at risk from “turning off the taps”.
A former senior SNP figure was among those to criticise Nicola Sturgeon’s decision to oppose developing the contentious oil field, after months of the SNP leader being accused of sitting on the fence.
The first minister’s remarks, which come just days after the COP26 climate conference, cements the Scottish Government’s shift away from long-standing support for the future of the oil and gas sector.
