BREAKING: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just £1.40 PER DAY.
Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living.
Anyone else think our government should do something similar?
🚨 BREAKING: Rishi Sunak has approved the UK’s first new coal mine in 30 YEARS.
We’re in the middle of a climate emergency, what on earth is the government thinking?
SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

‘Oil spill sprays crude into Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest’
That’s according to Indigenous activists, who shared footage of oil spraying from a ruptured pipeline.
🚨 BREAKING: Government Ministers want to BAN solar farms from most of England's farmland.
With energy bills at an all time high, why on earth are they sabotaging cheap renewable energy?
BREAKING 🚨
Greenpeace activists have interrupted
@TrussLiz
speech at
#CPC22
to denounce the prime minister 'shredding' her party’s 2019 manifesto promises.
The PM is U-turning on fracking, strong climate action, and world-leading environmental protections.
Who voted for this?
You might have spotted us on
@RishiSunak
’s roof.
We knew:
- He wasn’t in
- How to climb up safely
- How not to cause damage
Rishi knows that new oil and gas:
- Won’t lower bills
- Won’t give us energy security
- Will wreck the climate

Amount of land in the UK taken up by:
Golf courses = 1,256 km2
Solar farms = 230 km2
If government ministers want to put our land to better use, why don't they take a look at golf courses first?
🚨 BREAKING: The government has announced it will impose a windfall tax on renewable energy firms - but NOT on fossil fuel giants.
Fossil Fuel profits totalled close to $100bn in the first 6 months of this year. (can you reference this?)
Why the double standards?
🚨BREAKING: Climbers are on the roof of Rishi Sunak’s mansion draping it in 200 metres of oily-black fabric to drive home the dangerous consequences of a new drilling frenzy.

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
RT to expose.

🚨 BREAKING: Hundreds of activists are PHYSICALLY STOPPING mega-polluting private jets from taking off from Amsterdam's main airport,
@Schiphol
.
"We want fewer flights, more trains and a ban on unnecessary short-haul flights and private jets".
Who can disagree with that?
🚨 BREAKING: Thames Water has seen their first-half profits soar to half a BILLION pounds - but the company also saw a surge in burst pipes and raw sewage discharges.
Anyone else think their profits should be used to fix water infrastructure?
"Nobody voted for fracking, nobody voted to cut benefits, nobody voted to trash nature, nobody voted to scrap workers' rights."
"There's a whole host of things that the
@Conservatives
were elected to do in 2019, that they are simply not doing."

This is Kush. He is 33-year-old doctor.
Today he was planning to quietly hold a sign saying JUST STOP OIL, whilst in the crowd for the Coronation. He was arrested along with 20 others.
Free speech is a core British value – and we have just lost it.
🚨 BREAKING: The head of one of Britain's biggest fracking companies has said fracking won't work in the UK due to 'challenging geology' - and in turn, won't bring down energy prices.
If the head of a fracking company can see fracking won't work, why can't the government?
🚨GOOD NEWS: Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days, bringing consumers' electric bills to NEARLY 0.
If Portugal can achieve this, why can't we?
🚨BREAKING: Russia has been DOWNGRADED on the global civic freedoms index and labeled “increasingly authoritarian” by its authors.
Oh wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.
🚨BREAKING: An IT firm founded by Rishi Sunak's father-in-law was awarded a BILLION dollar contract with oil giant BP - just 2 months before the PM re-announced his support for hundreds of new oil and gas licences.
Convenient timing.
🚨BREAKING: New documents reveal Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng held SECRET meetings with executives of Saudi Oil firms when he was Business Secretary.
Earlier this year, Kwasi pushed for natural gas to be labelled as 'green energy' for investors.
Anyone else thinks this stinks?
🚨 BREAKING: The River Lim in Dorset has been declared 'ecologically dead'.
The amount of sewage overflowing into the river has TRIPLED in under a year.
BREAKING 🚨🪨: We’ve built a boulder barrier 200km off the coast of Cornwall to stop the industrial fishing frenzy in a supposedly protected area.
If the government won’t protect our oceans, we will ✊

Hey
@Conservatives
when you're done on photoshop, could you maybe stand up to President Bolsonaro who's torching the Amazon for chicken feed?...
Everyone else sign this:
Sunak has effectively just given £3.75bn of taxpayers' money to a Norwegian oil company to develop Rosebank oil field.
In return for your money, you get NO DECREASE in energy bills.
Happy with the deal?
🚨BREAKING: Rishi Sunak spent £400,000 upgrading his local electricity grid so he can heat his new PRIVATE POOL.
So we decided to pay him a visit and throw a pool party at his mansion in North Yorkshire. 🥳🏊
🚨 BREAKING: Greenpeace activists have OCCUPIED a Shell platform en route to the North Sea!
They have a message for the oil giant - Stop Drilling. Start Paying.
Shoutout to these brave activists 👏👏
🚨BREAKING: An MP who CRITICISED the idea of a windfall tax on oil companies FAILED to declare his own wife's shares in the oil giant BP.
David Duguid MP voted against a windfall tax on oil giants FOUR TIMES. How is this legal?
🚨 BREAKING: The only official bathing spot on the Thames just tested positive for unsafe levels of E coli 🤮
We are literally up sh*t creek without a paddle - why have the government allowed our waterways to get so filthy?
There’s been a lot of noise about us climbing on the roof of one of the Prime Minister’s many homes.
There’s just one message we’d like you to remember.
New oil and gas WILL NOT lower our bills!
Here’s why 👇🧵

The strangest thing about Kate Middleton's disappearance is that SHELL IS SUING GREENPEACE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR A PEACEFUL CLIMATE PROTEST AND IF THEY WIN IT COULD HAVE A CHILLING EFFECT ON ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STAND UP TO THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY EVER AGAIN.
🚨 NEW: Greta Thunberg has just been detained protesting a Big Oil conference in London.
This was her powerful message to the fossil fuel industry before she was detained.

#OilyMoneyOut
BREAKING: The government just approved the use of a BANNED bee-killing pesticide AGAIN!
One teaspoon of the pesticide is enough to kill 1.25 billion bees - it should be kept away from them!
Who else thinks the government should listen to the science and NOT the sugar lobby?
🚨 BREAKING: The government's 'draconian' Public Order Bill - which could see some protestors FORCED to wear electronic tags - is set to be waved through the Commons.
The right to protest is fundamental in a healthy democracy - why is the government attacking free speech?
🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of activists are cycling around Amsterdam airport BLOCKING mega-polluting private jets of the ultra rich from taking off. 🚴✈️
Anyone else had ENOUGH of wealthy elites aggravating the climate crisis?
👏🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
🚨 BREAKING: Shell has just announced record breaking annual profits of more than £32 BILLION.
So we paid their HQ a visit to deliver a message: STOP DRILLING, START PAYING.
#MakeShellPay
🚨BREAKING: The UK has REJECTED new EU rules which would FORCE cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies to PAY for their river pollution.
Why is the UK government allowing polluters to get away SCOT-FREE?
🚨 BREAKING: Shell has reported £5.1 BILLION in profit for the last 3 months.
Ordinary people shouldn’t be paying to fix the climate crisis. Big Oil should.
🚨BREAKING: Emperor Penguins are now officially threatened with extinction.
The world’s tallest penguin species have been placed on the endangered list because of climate change.
NEW: Germany has passed a bill forcing single-use plastic producers to help PAY for clean-ups.
From 2025 they'll have to contribute to the costs to clean up plastic from its streets and parks.
Who else thinks the UK government should do the same?
Refusing to tax the billions in record profits made by energy companies during this historic cost of living crisis is morally indefensible.
Pass it on.
🚨BREAKING: The UK government has approved 27 new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.
So soon after Storm Babet destroyed lives across the UK, the government is condemning communities to more severe flooding and storms in future.
It's SHAMEFUL!
REMINDER: New oil WON'T bring down bills OR boost energy security. It will just WRECK the climate.
That's why we were on
@RishiSunak

🚨 BREAKING: Over 30 activists have occupied parliament.
While the government is in chaos, almost 7 million people are facing fuel poverty.
We need the next government to deliver a proper windfall tax to insulate homes and keep people warm this winter.
#ChaosCostsLives
Watch the moment we interrupted Boris Johnson, incoming Prime Minister, with a crucial message ✋ - the answers to tackling the Climate Emergency.
But will he act?
#ClimateAction
Private jets are responsible for MORE greenhouse gas emissions in the past three years than Uganda, a country with a population of 46 MILLION.
The super rich are destroying our planet.
Pass it on.
BREAKING: The Royal Opera House has DUMPED oil giant BP as its sponsor.
This comes after years of pressure from climate activists - people power WORKS! 👏👏
🚨 BREAKING: Shell is suing us and threatening an $8 MILLION damages claim for peacefully protesting their climate destruction.
Big Oil is trying to silence us.
We will NOT back down.
🚨BREAKING: National Grid has requested a COAL-FIRED power station in the East Midlands to be warmed up - to cope with more people using air conditioners.
We're using MORE coal to cool down the effects of the coal we're using. It makes no sense.
Rosebank's developer will receive an effective taxpayer subsidy worth **£3.75bn** through tax breaks and the loophole in the government’s windfall tax.
But most of the oil will be exported so Rosebank will do NOTHING to lower our energy bills.
It's a national scandal.
🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of people are now marching to the Norwegian Embassy to protest against the Rosebank oilfield.
Equinor, the Norwegian oil company will get £3.75 billion of taxpayers money to develop the new field.
All the public gets in return is sky-high energy bills.
Swarms of 300 illuminated drones forming iconic animals have descended on Cornwall demanding the G7 world leaders
