Scottish Labour No U-turn on oil tax plans, says Sarwar

The Scottish Labour leader said the party would press on with its plans for a multibillion-pound windfall tax on oil profits despite claims from more than 800 oil, engineering and business executives that the levy could cost up to 100,000 North Sea jobs.

The Press & Journal newspaper in Aberdeen surprised Labour officials by splashing "the traitors" on its front page on Thursday over photographs of Sarwar, Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Ed Miliband, with an oil rig in the background.

Starmer, Sarwar and Miliband met oil and engineering executives in Aberdeen several weeks ago in an attempt to win support for Labour's strategy to step up investment in lowcarbon energy and shift away from North Sea oil and gas.
