Aberdeen: the city killed by Ed Miliband | Nick Tyrone

Aberdeen is at the coalface of Britain’s Net Zero catastrophe. Around 400 workers in the North Sea oil and gas sector are being laid off every fortnight. The dismantling of one of Scotland’s leading industries has come at a staggering social and economic cost. And yet, Ed Miliband, Britain’s eco-zealous energy secretary, is turning a blind eye to the devastation around him. Here, Nick Tyrone – author of Cliff Edge and researcher at the Jobs Foundation – warns that without an immediate and drastic change of course, oil and gas workers will become the coal miners of the 21st century, condemned to joblessness, poverty and welfare dependency. Industry in Aberdeen, he fears, will be left broken beyond repair by Miliband’s green diktats.
