The UK has an ongoing demand for gas, for electricity backup, for fertilisers and other chemicals, for industrial heat, and also for domestic heat given how long it will take to radically improve insulation and to replace boilers with heat pumps.
That demand is reducing but will still be substantial over the next ten or twenty years. See this from the FT:

The choice is not whether we consume the gas, the question is whether we produce the gas domestically, import the gas and consume it, or kill off our industries and then import finished products that has the gas consumption embedded.
Importing gas means we give up tens of billions in tax revenue and jobs, let alone the jobs in industries like chemicals which are downstream of that.
Also, imported LNG emits almost 20% more carbon than North Sea gas, again, from the FT:

It makes sense, use the natural resources we have to lower costs and invest in cheaper alternatives with the savings. I really quite like Ed but I feel like he can be a bit of a zealot at times regarding this.
Sorry, the *wind* industry wants there to be more fossil fuels??
Trump told us this months ago, I kinda hate to admit but he was on point and actually I think trying to covertly tell us he was gonna fuck up world oil supplies
