UK natural gas imports by country of origin (in 2021)
Natural gas (in metric tons)
Country Natural gas (metric tons) Norway 1,440,000 United States 92,000 Denmark 45,000 Belgium 45,000 Russia 12,000 France 8,000
That's not a very high proportion that was coming from Russia even before the invasion.
Maybe demand for Norwegian gas has increased due to other countries that did import a lot from Russia wanting to import from Norway.

This is what I meant.
We is not exclusively the UK, but if other countries are then we (the UK) are indirectly reliant on it not causing everyone else to come for our gas.
We gave away our North Sea resources, and now we are subject to the global market.
