Sturgeon accused of having ‘fingers in ears’ after refusing to shift stance on Cambo

Scotland’s First Minister has been described as a threat to energy security after she reiterated her opposition to a controversial North Sea oilfield.

During a debate in Holyrood, Nicola Sturgeon again expressed her support for “moving away from reliance on fossil fuels” and towards low carbon sources.

She was responding to North East MSP Liam Kerr, who urged her to give “political backing” for production from the Cambo field.
