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.

Renewable energy capacity in Scotland grew by over 10% since 2021!

Don't let the oil and gas lobby trick you, it is more than feasible and profitable to have a fully-renewable grid within the decade if the right laws are in place to allow it.

Good.

‼️ Secret meetings between Kwasi Kwarteng and Saudi oil firms revealed by FOI request.

Meetings, dinners, donations, deals 🤝
