Don't start drilling for North Sea oil again

Even before he is Prime Minister, Andy Burnham has announced one policy: to reverse the government's stand on North Sea drilling licences. Big oil in cahoots with union power is not the way forward to secure the planet against climate change. We're sending a clear message to the new PM: you must be strong to maintain strong environmental policies and not permit more drilling in the UK. 

Why is this important?

I cannot believe a recent policy to do something about climate change has been reversed before the new PM takes office. We're in the middle of the worst heatwave in the UK, the new PM couldn't get his timing any worse. He should be thinking of our new generation who have no power to save the planet.
