We have been exporting oil down south for decades and all that happens is they, in turn, resell the energy to us at inflated prices. The same thing is happening with electricity produced by the abundance of wind and wave power from around our shoreline. Starmer and his mob of useless goons won't make a blind bit of difference. I do agree that independence = keep the energy here, but unfortunately we need people with the political will to do it, and they are in very short supply.
