Reform UK has backed fracking for shale gas as part of efforts to extract “every last barrel, every last drop” of gas and oil in the UK.

Richard Tice MP, the party’s energy spokesperson, insisted the UK Government must approve “all of the existing drilling consents” for the North Sea – including both the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields, where development has been heavily opposed by environmentalists.
