Yes @CarolineLucas!. Here's what's wrong with @RishiSunak's answer. 1. UK EXPORTS 80% of its oil. Majority of Rosebank’s oil will be put in tankers and sold overseas. The UK public will see very little in return for the £3.75 billion tax break it is handing Rosebank’s owners.
PM said “my daughter is climate champion in our house”. So what does she think of climate-wrecking #Rosebank oil field, & handing £3.75bn of taxpayer cash to oil giant @Equinor to develop it? Can he look her in the eye & say he's giving young people a liveable future?. My #PMQ 👇

You don’t transition away from fossil fuels by opening up a massive new oil field. You don’t improve energy security by selling the oil abroad to the highest bidder. You don’t alleviate fuel poverty by giving oil giants a £3.75bn tax break. You do this by stopping Rosebank.
