Angry Labour MPs urge leadership not to overrule energy secretary on Rosebank

·The Guardian·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

Labour MPs are urging their leadership not to overrule the energy secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh, on the Rosebank oilfield decision. This means they want the government to respect her decision if she chooses to block the project. The MPs are concerned about the cabinet splits that have emerged over the issue, which could create an unstable environment for the government. If the leadership does overrule the energy secretary, it could lead to further divisions within the party and potentially affect the government's ability to make key decisions.
