# Tories and Reform would destroy energy sector in ‘pincer movement’ – SNP

By Simon Francis — 2026-06-12

Simon Francis, coordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: “The Deputy First Minister is not speaking for the Scottish people when she describes the Windfall Tax as hated.

“Polling in the run-up to the Scottish elections found voters across all parties supported the Energy Profits Levy.

“And with the oil and gas industry making £3 billion in profits on UK operations in the first three months of 2026 it is no wonder that three quarters of the population felt it is morally wrong for oil and gas companies to profit from the energy crisis caused by the Iran war.”
