We will always listen when the president offers us advice and he is right, we need to focus on our own energy security...*dramatic pause*...and so today I can announce a new funding package to install 50 new wind turbines off the coasts of Turnberry and Aberdeen" |  |

Worryingly, their Defence Secretary is saying this today (8am) in DC. Hegseth starts the press conference by saying he visited the Middle East on Saturday and spoke with US troops. He claims morale is high and there is an appetite among the military personnel to “finish the mission” and that they want bigger bombs and weapons to attack Iran with. They want to Nuke Iran don't they? |  | |  |
| "Go get your own oil" - Trump to the UK today... on 13:15 - Mar 31 with 2255 views | Illinoisblue | Hegseth’s presser right now is a classic. He visited the troops at the weekend and claimed one female soldier asked him, with a smile on her face, “Sir, can we have more bombs, bigger bombs.” If America was a sitcom it would be dismissed as being way too ridiculous. |  |

It's farcical on one level, but as mentioned above this lot are so unhinged, would they go nuclear just to 'finish the job'? |  | |  |

This is 100% my biggest fear. It'll be Trump's last act as a flailing, failing President, with no prospect of re-election when even his base says doing three terms would be insane. |  | |  |

Unfortunately, I get the impression he is itching to drop a nuke - not saying a full blown ICBM coming out out of a Kansas cornfield, but a small tactical one, just to say "Look, I can do this" - didn't he ask in his first term what the point was of having all these weapons and not use them? You can see him using one if they get bogged down in a land war on Kharg Island or similar. Mind you, on the above showing, he'll be threatening anyone he doesn't like at this rate... |  | |  |

Charles has no choice but to go, as it is a Govt decision. He can of course have an 'unscheduled' medical issue that might delay things... |  | |  |

It's not our own oil. We don't get to keep it. It's the dumbest thing currently being trotted out by both Reform and Tories. |  | |  |

You do know that 90% of known North Sea oil had already been extracted? What remains is quite difficult to get and so consequently will be very expensive. |  | |  |

That’s populist nonsense though - it’s taxed at 78pc so it’s hugely beneficial to the UK, otherwise we are just enriching Norway and the US at the moment. Whilst it’s true the price is set by the market, there would of course be improved energy security by piping more of it to the UK mainland. What we are seeing now is the few ships transiting the strait effectively becoming a bidding war with LNG at upto 5 times spot price. |  | |  |
