On the 22nd of February 2024 Barry made a speech into the House against the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill, describing it as a “sad attempt to sow division and polarise our politics.”
Barry argued that this Bill is a demonstration that the government has “given up governing” and is “out of step with the British people’s priorities”.
“The government is failing to understand that to transition away from fossil fuels, you have to stop producing them”.
Barry is proud to condemn this Bill to the same fate as this Conservative government, “a vote of no confidence”.
