The UK government has granted environmental approval for the controversial Jackdaw gasfield in the North Sea, operated by Shell. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh confirmed the decision, which will allow gas to begin flowing to homes and businesses by the end of the month, arguing it bolsters domestic energy security. However, the move has triggered sharp condemnation from environmental campaigners and political opponents who accuse the government of abandoning its climate commitments.
