Lady in colourful top, "Conservative strategy is extracting oil will give us more energy security, how will it give us more than a community owned renewable energy system?" Johnny Mercer, "We have imported cheap oil and and gas and we don't have control over that" Fiona Bruce, "How would you have control over new oil and gas, given that it will be produced by a private company that will sell it to the highest bidder on the energy market" Johnny Mercer, "Because we will be able to control that production" George Monbiot, "No we wont" Johnny Mercer, "We will be able to control what is going on in that space, to make sure that energy comes through to the UK in times like this" Fiona Bruce, 'How?" Lady in colourful top, "That's a lie" Fiona Bruce, "We will be no more likely to get it than anyone else" Johnny Mercer, "I disagree because of the controls we will put in place" #BBCQT

@implausibleblog He probably thinks they can just change the law like they are doing with the Rwanda policy 🙄🙈
@implausibleblog The Great Betrayal: Johnny Mercer's red faced answer says it all.

@implausibleblog @JohnnyMercerUK one word 🔔🔚 Sunak cuffed the oil licences after his family bought shares #W⚓️
@implausibleblog 'Johnny Mercer, "I disagree because of the controls we will put in place' Nobody is holding their breath.
@implausibleblog Thanks for laying out the gist. I can’t physically cope with actually listening to any Tory MP or minister these days, so rely on Twitter folk to report the basics.
@implausibleblog Mercer making up nonsense policy on the fly. Utterly hopeless man.
@implausibleblog MPs like Mercer live in some fantasy land, where if they want to they could just force an oil company to hand over output, or they could raid a vaccine lab in Holland, zero consequences. The bunch that wouldn't even discuss a windfall tax on some quasi-paramilitary operation? No.
