Over the coming weeks, the Prime Minister is expected to travel to Aberdeen to publicly announce the license for the Jackdaw gas field.

After a summer of climate breakdown-
John SwinneyPANELIST
Of course, in all of this, the Scottish Government is absolutely focused on making sure that we make the transition to, uh, to clean fuel.
John SwinneyPANELIST
I was in Aberdeen yesterday to set out more grant funding to support the transition to net zero in Scotland, and that will remain the focus of the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government used to have a clear position on this, a presumption against all new licenses for oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
Iain DaleHOST
After the differences between the Green Party for England and Wales and the Scottish Green Party, do you agree that the English party has caught up with the Scottish party?
Zach PolanskiGUEST
Actually, this is quite easy because I just came from dinner with Roscoe and Gillian Mackay, who are the leaders of the Scottish Greens.
Zach PolanskiGUEST
Well, they're annoyed that I hadn't invited them.
Zach PolanskiGUEST

Alex MassieHOST
And the devil is very much going to be in the detail, obviously.

Alex ForsythHOST

Alex ForsythHOST

Alex ForsythHOST
She said it was very clear that opening any new oil and gas fields is not compatible with the climate crisis we are facing.
Alex ForsythHOST
She says they wouldn't do anything to lower people's bills.
Billy GordonNARRATOR
While the details of the scheme remain at the early stages, the Scottish Greens have said, called on the government to urgently accelerate the rollout of the £2 bus fare cap across Scotland.
Billy GordonNARRATOR
Party co-leader Gillian Mackay questioned why there was not yet a timeline in place for the Strathclyde pilot or the national rollout.
Billy GordonNARRATOR
The £2 bus fare cap has been a game changer for thousands of people across the Highlands and Islands, helping families and regular travellers to cut the cost of getting around, reducing emissions and keeping more money in people's pockets, Mackay said.
Billy GordonNARRATOR
It has shown what is possible when we put affordable, accessible public transport at the heart of our policies, but progress has now stalled and the Scottish Government is dragging its feet on extending the scheme.
