1/ The Rosebank oil field is a very bad deal for the UK. Generous tax breaks mean the UK public would shoulder over 80% of the costs – and the vast majority of risk – from developing this massive oil field.
How much we lose out depends on what oil prices might be in the future. 🧵

I have a lot of sympathy for farmers who do hard work in difficult circumstances.
But public services are crumbling, including in the countryside.
It's right to ask some of the wealthiest landowners to pay a bit more tax.
