      It’s the conservative way. Then once they’re out, they can immediately start to complain about why the government hasn’t put out said fires.

    This won’t go anywhere. It takes absolutely ages to do these investigations, I can’t imagine the conservative government will last that long. Besides the oil companies will highly suspect drilling licenses will be denied when Labour are in government, so they’re not going to spend the money on the investigations if they’re pretty confident they won’t be allowed to actually drill.

    This is just him showing everyone how massively Tory he is to all the upstanding voters that have left for reform (please come back, we need the scumbag vote).
