Next week, the world's largest oil & gas companies will announce another round of obscene profits.
Even with the #windfalltax , they're STILL making billions in profit.
But instead of increasing the tax, the govt is u-turning on energy bill support & talking of cutting pensions
If Jeremy Hunt is looking for ways to spend taxpayer money more effectively, maybe he shouldn’t give a half billion pound tax break to the owners of the Rosebank oil field.
@equinor doesn’t need a tax break.
They made more than £30 billion in profit this year.
£30 billion.
A great campaign to get behind for many reasons:
⚡️ Saves energy
💤 Helps sleep
🙏Protects mental health
💥Stops the fossil fuel indsutry having unfettered access to #greenwash an entire population 24/7
You know, the normal stuff.

Maybe they can start investing their record profits in cheaper + quicker renewables so we can all move past this fossil fuel thing.
