@JournalistFact1@britmatters@SophieP25397 In 2024, the EU's natural gas import dependency rate was
85.6%, meaning that only 14.4% of its gas supply came from European markets (including production and other intra-European trade). European production of natural gas decreased by 12.4% in 2024.
@Nintenmarz@SophieP25397 We import gas from. Europe because we exported loads of gas under Maggie. The gas interconnecters have been importing gas from Europe/Norway since the late 80's. It's also a free market, so drilling oil and gas in the North Sea doesn't mean it's used in the UK.
@jenniferarcuri Remember, he's a Sir. Made a Sir by David Cameron in 2014 for his work as head of the CPS. But his modesty stops him using his title. A decent chap then.
