The energy secretary is also said to be considering dropping strict net zero rules under the guise of dropping household energy bills, and Andy Burnham has apparently directed ministers to find ways to allow new drilling in the North Sea without impacting the Labour party’s manifesto pledge to put a halt to any new efforts.
