The UK's North Sea Sell-Out: How Israel Is Profiting From British Oil

Right, so Andy Burnham's government has endorsed Jackdaw, and Burnham is now making a virtue of it as if he has single-handedly saved the country from energy poverty. British energy, British workers, British aid to the poor, needy masses. Just don't look at the small print. Israeli businessmen are also lurking in the background, quietly profiting as Britain is told to stand up and cheer. The money trail is murky; a politician's speech about jobs is a lot simpler and let’s face it, the mainstream media will never dig very deeply, sl it’s left to the rest of us to do their job for them as usual. Jackdaw might begin spitting up gas by the end of October, which means Burnham will be able to take the podium and proclaim: "look we have taken a decision, we will have gas, we are doing something, you may now applaud and bask in my northern Starmer glory. In the prime minister's perspective, this is a headline that will be worth its weight in gold. Especially at a time when people are being mugged by their energy bills and would like the government to do anything other than wring its hands and look concerned. And if you're in the industry, it makes sense to want the contract to continue. You want to believe all those years of training were not a waste. No one is mocking that. But the politicians are. They don't care about you unless there's a photo op.
