£50 billion budget giveaway for the richest. £130 billion bung to energy corp moguls. £500 rise in your gas bill starting next Friday. This is class war, it’s time we fought back.


Shell’s Jackdaw gas project won’t: 🙅 Lower energy bills 🙅 Make us energy secure But it will make the climate crisis worse. It’s time to #StopJackdaw @KwasiKwarteng & focus on renewables & energy efficiency.


If there ever was a moment to tell the government to stop approving new oil and gas projects, that moment is here and now. Join me in signing the petition from @GreenpeaceUK👇 act.gp/3PBNmV4
