      There are lots of things that should not be funded by tax money but are. What im not sure about is whether he will cut those or if he will cut healthcare, public transport or other good stuff.

          They’ve already blocked future north sea oil drilling and are doing a windfall energy tax, as well as the GB Energy project that will lessen energy suppliers’ ability to price scalp, and being pretty aggressive with green energy rollouts (something not exactly great for BP!).

          I’m not sure why you’d assume that Starmer loves BP. What is that idea based on?

            Probably because he’s an untrustworthy Neoliberal smarmosaur and thus liable to show a different face to the rich than to the wider public?

            He’s basically just Blair without any charisma.

              Calling him a neoliberal and insulting him is hardly a concrete argument.

              I just gave actual substantiative reasoning for why he clearly doesn’t love petroleum companies. Do you actually have anything to back up what was said?
