industry in the north of scotland, and we have spoken to one of the union bosses, gary smith of the gmblad you asked the question, - losses? no, i don't, but i'm really. glad you asked the question, laura, because it's really important that we stress this point partly for people who work in the oil and gas industry in the north east. there is not a suggestion of any cliff edge, there will be no cliff edge, there will be no turning off of the tap. we are clear that oil and gas will play a significant role in our energy industry for decades to come. what we're talking about is building the strategic partnerships in order to actually deliver the green revolution, and i want to be really upfront about this, we need the oil and gas industry, all those businesses, the scale of the investment that they are able to make, to partner with government to deliver on this objective, and that is what we are talking about, a genuine partnership. can is what we are talking about, a genuine partnership.— genuine partnership. can you guarantee — genuine partnership. can you guarantee there _ genuine partn

so here we've got gary smith, who's general secretary of the gmb, is the biggest gmb, which is the thirderally cut oil production by a million barrels a day. that's about 1. that's that's big bananas. saudi basically generate they create ten, 11 million barrels a day. so 1 million barrels a day out of the 100 odd million barrels every day that the world uses, they're going to cut that already on global oil markets this morning. we've seen a two, three, 4% jump in oil prices , three, 4% jump in oil prices, and that's going to eventually hit petrol and diesel prices again. and it's going to start muddying the narrative of that. energy prices are coming down, that the cost of living is coming down. and this is directly in opposition to what america wants to what the uk wants, saudi, you know , wants, saudi, you know, seemingly our great seemingly one of our great allies is. and yet they're doing exactly what we don't want them to do at a crucial time, of course. and some would say they're doing what wants they're doing what russia wants them do. of course , you know, them to do. of course,
