Chancellor must back new oilfield or see growth plans sunk by Ed Miliband

Labour faces a growth test. Backing the Rosebank oilfield demonstrates economic commitment, or Miliband’s opposition sinks their credibility.

Labour might want to boost growth. Rachel Reeves can show she means it by backing the Rosebank oilfield.

This action will anger some since certain groups oppose all fossil fuels, ignoring the costs to Britain. One MP even threatened to quit if Rosebank proceeds.

Ed Miliband also opposes Rosebank, once calling it “climate vandalism.” He now decides its fate, making this a key test for Starmer and Reeves. If Miliband blocks Rosebank, he should leave, or the PM must fire him.

The government has harmed itself over Chagos by letting a lawyer “renegotiate” the issue who prioritizes other interests. Labour will pay Mauritius £9 billion, giving them the Chagos Islands but leasing Diego Garcia back to us.

Mauritius is friendly with China and seems to lack a real claim to the islands. The payment is now reportedly double, £18 billion, giving Mauritius power over our lease. Labour says a “black hole” hurts defense spending, yet they find billions for Mauritius.

Trump might be angry about the airbase, making this situation seem illogical. How can Labour defend it?

The NHS receives criticism often, but pages 4 and 5 show its value. Staff saved Natasha Sokunbi’s life after she “died” in the hospital. Doctors restarted her heart and delivered her baby girl.

Both mother and daughter are now healthy demonstrating that the staff performed a miracle.
