National Grid could cut off pipelines to Netherlands and Belgium amid Russia-Ukraine war pressures.

Great Britain plans to stop supplying gas to mainland Europe if the country is hit by extreme shortages in the coming months, it has emerged.

Earlier this month the British Gas owner, Centrica, signed a major supply deal with the Norwegian state oil company, Equinor, to deliver enough gas for next three years to heat 4.5m extra homes the month.

Centrica is also in talks with the government to reopen Britain’s biggest gas storage site – Rough, off the east coast of England – which was shut in 2017.

This move is the correct one.

Why should we go cold so the lowlands can warm themselves in front of their fires this winter?

They would have absolutely no compunction in cutting off UK supply if the situation warrented it. The EU looks to its own interests first.
