How will Burnham navigate the North Sea?

How will Burnham navigate the North Sea?

One of the first big decisions of Andy Burnham’s premiership is looming: whether to drill for North Sea oil and gas.


Labour made a manifesto promise not to grant new licences for oil and gas exploration, but the question of whether to go ahead and drill at the Rosebank and Jackdaw sites - offshore oil and gas fields that have pre-existing licences - remains.


After a summer of wildfires and heatwaves, but with our energy security and cost-of-living precarious, the new Prime Minister faces a political dilemma.


Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea.
