Big Oil and offshore Britain How Big Oil reaps in the profits while avoiding contributions to the public good by using Britain's network of offshore tax havens.

Big Oil companies, including shell and BP, making mega profits from Iran war but abusing tax system by using UK's network of secretive offshore tax havens.

HMRC does special deals but does not disclose

Staff from oil companies, tax dodge industry seconded to HMRC.

Govts squeeze normal people.

Record number of homes in Great Britain turn to green energy as fuel prices soar Iran war drives demand for solar panels, heat pumps and EVs, with energy bills expected to rise 18% from July

Heat pump orders up 2x in a month. Solar panel inquiries up 250%. EV leases up 85%.

The Iran crisis has made energy security feel personal.
I understand why: I have solar panels, a heat pump & EV on a flexible tariff. When gas prices spike, my bills barely move.

NEW 🚨: Major fossil fuel firms are set to make BILLIONS in excess war profits - coming directly out of the pockets of ordinary people.

The choice is clear: more drilling and higher bills, or renewables and a more stable and affordable energy system.

Vigil 228 on 17.4.26 @ #WestYorkshirePensionFund @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social
Calling on them to #DIVEST from #fossilfuel investments bcoz they cause #climate destruction which a huge national security & financial risk. We can invest in solutions: see this press release wypf.org.uk/news/press-r...

And a reminder: more North Sea drilling will not take a penny off our bills, it would only boost the profits of fossil fuel companies.

The only way to bring down energy costs over the long term is to get off our reliance on oil and gas, and invest as fast as we can in renewables.

NEW 🚨: More than half of Brits think ending the windfall tax would be wrong.

And why wouldn't they? Oil giants are set to make BILLIONS in bumper profits, as we all face huge costs on energy bills.

Politicians should ignore the oil lobby, and listen to the public.

‘God does not bless any conflict’: pope issues new rebuke over Iran war Social media post names no names but criticizes attempts to use religion to glorify US war in Middle East

Pope Leo rebukes [indirectly] Donald Trump.

“God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs,”

BREAKING 🚨: Cambo is back for round two.

Last time this massive oil field was on the table, thousands of people across the world fought back and we won - forcing Shell to pull out from the project.

🔴 NEW - The Vested Interests Lobbying for North Sea Oil and Gas Expansion

Fossil fuel interests and climate science deniers have been leading the charge for more drilling.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation.

But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times.

Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.”

Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

Right‑wing populists like Farage & Trump take huge donations🤑 from the fossil fuels industry & work for their paymasters. Truth is transition to green energy is a cost‑of‑living policy:
✅️cheaper renewables
✅️better home insulation
✅️energy security due to less exposure to volatile oil & gas prices

Half a million strong. Together.

The biggest march against the far-right in British history.

Reform’s local councils are bringing climate denial into the… Top polling party’s moves to ‘undeclare’ the climate emergency and scrap net zero targets could be a sign of things to come

I keep hearing that the rise of the populist right is one of the biggest threats to the climate. Watching Trump’s second term it’s hard to disagree

So @tbij.bsky.social looked at what councils controlled by Reform UK are doing on climate

What we found was pretty shocking

We need fairness. We need change.
When it affects our communities, we stand up 💜

We should actually be building new homes to Passivhaus (or Passive House) standards - requiring very little or no heating - but with a heat pump for hot water.

Yesterday we visited Westminster Hall for our Stop Rosebank Mass Lobby event!

Thank you to all of our amazing supporters who attended from all across the UK.

We met with an incredible 16 MPs and staffers, from across the political spectrum, encouraging them to oppose the Rosebank oil field.

‘Seriously wrong’: flood-hit Lincolnshire residents at odds with Reform MP over climate Constituents’ frustration with Richard Tice reflects growing problem for party and its leaders’ climate-sceptic stance

There may be trouble ahead.

Local adaptation to climate risks like flooding will give climate denialist Reform party more & more quandaries going forward make repping their voters pretty tricky.

Eg #RichardTice

@nazshahbfd.bsky.social fyi We need your amazing courage and tenacity #Honoured to share with the govt how we need to care for each other, NOT for big corporations, if we are to have enough food
