How each side framed it
Left-leaning outlets
Polanski: 'climate vandalism' (Guardian live blog). Scottish Greens press Swinney to oppose new oil (Morning Star, The National).
Centre outlets
Centre-rated outlets headline it: “Energy secreatry reacts to Green Party leaders Jackdaw criticism” (Sky News).
Right-leaning outlets
Daily Mail: 'betrayal backlash from Labour Left and Greens', which places the Greens within a Labour-left revolt. GB News's Jackdaw coverage centres on Rosebank and protesters rather than the Green Party.
Holding the paradox
Agreed facts
The Green Party of England and Wales and the Scottish Greens both condemned the approval. The energy secretary responded to the Green leader's criticism (Sky).
Where claims conflict
Little factual dispute. The debate is whether opposing domestic gas is principled climate policy or out of touch on bills.
The paradox
Only 5 rated outlets carried Green reaction in their headlines, even on a climate decision. Elsewhere the Greens appear as a quote inside Jackdaw stories, not as the subject. This is the Greens' strongest issue, yet the party is largely invisible on it in the headlines.
