The hypocrisy of it all 
Quote:
SNP ministers have applauded record North Sea tax revenues despite threatening to block new oil and gas exploration in an independent Scotland.
Neil Gray, the party’s Wellbeing Economy Secretary, said the £9.4 billion of revenues in 2022/23 demonstrated “our vibrant energy sector” and how “the UK continues to benefit from Scotland’s natural wealth”.
But the Tories questioned how that tallied with SNP proposals to create a presumption against new oil and gas exploration, with Humza Yousaf, the First Minister, lambasting Rishi Sunak’s decision to grant 100 new licences last month.
