I know I've already said it, but this is genuinely HUGE NEWS and shows that the writing is on the wall for new oil and gas developments in the UK, starting with #Cambo. These developments can't be defended on climate OR economic grounds.

This is a historic win and a huge testament to what we can accomplish.
Now let's take the fight to UK gov to reject Cambo once and for all ✖️🛢️

That's higher than BP & Shell's profits combined.
While raking in obscene wealth, Equinor & partners are set to receive more than £500 million in tax breaks for developing Rosebank
BREAKING: 50 MPs and peers, from all major parties, have written to demanding in the "strongest possible terms" to #StopRosebank.
It's clear: the PM and energy minister stand with no one but oil billionaires on this disaster.
🔥🔥🔥
We disrupted 's business lunch, together with , to demand that the UK govt #StopJackdaw and #StopNewFields.
We need a windfall tax, huge investment in energy efficiency and renewables, NOT new oil and gas ❌
BREAKING: protests the Rosebank oil field outside of .
It would produce more CO2 than 28 countries do in a year, burning past climate targets. It won't help our energy security or bills but will still get a £3.75 billion tax break. #StopRosebank
🚨BREAKING: Labour has just committed to block all new oil & gas in the North Sea.
We know new oil & gas is incompatible with a liveable future.
Labour gets it and is ready to #StopRosebank and all new fields
HISTORIC: The people of Ecuador voted to end oil drilling in the Yasuní protected area of the Amazon.
This is a huge win for the Indigenous communities that organised & led this fight against big oil for over a decade.

🚨 is preparing to approve the biggest undeveloped field in the North Sea: Rosebank.
Rosebank WON’T lower bills or make our energy more secure. But it WILL produce pollution equal to the world’s 28 lowest-income countries.
We will #StopRosebank bit.ly/StopRosebank
NEW ANALYSIS finds a single wind farm would negate the need for new North Sea gas fields.
New fields don’t make our energy cheaper or more secure.
They just make us more reliant on a broken energy system that’s unaffordable & driving climate breakdown.
🚨Rishi Sunak has just confirmed plans to issue over 100 new oil & gas licences this September.
New drilling won't make our energy more secure or lower bills, it'll just make billions for oil giants while wrecking the planet.
🚨The UK government just approved a new oil field🚨
For a safe climate, we can’t have any new oil or gas fields
We stopped Cambo. Now it’s time to #StopAllFields📢
The UK is blocking cheap onshore wind farms, costing us £1.5 billion a year.
Instead, they’re giving £3.75 billion in tax breaks to the owners of the Rosebank oil field.
Rosebank is mainly oil for export & won’t do a thing to lower bills.
BREAKING: The UK govt has just approved the Jackdaw gas field.
It’s atrocious that even though the science is clear that we can’t have new oil and gas projects, they’re giving the green light to yet another climate wrecking project.
But it's not over!
📢 WATCH THIS SPACE 📢
BREAKING: Shell has just made the final investment decision to move forward with Jackdaw.
If the field goes ahead, it will produce the same pollution as the annual emissions of Ghana.
Jackdaw won't lower bills. It'll just wreck the climate. #StopJackdaw

This is HUGE news. Now the UK government needs a real plan for a #JustTransition for industry workers & communities and to rule out new oil & gas projects once and for all #StopCambo
Lord Deben, Conservative peer & the UK government’s most senior climate advisor, has just slammed Sunak’s plan to issue new oil & gas licences
Deben calls out the government lies one by one.
New oil & gas is not compatible with a liveable climate.
The UK is bending over backwards to support new oil fields, giving billions in tax breaks for new projects.
Meanwhile, they’re failing to provide vital support for offshore wind & still blocking onshore wind - the cheapest form of energy.
It’s a scandal
🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer has said there will be no new oil & gas fields under a Labour government.
This is a huge win and thanks to the work of thousands of you across the country.

Yes !
Here's what's wrong with 's answer.
1. UK EXPORTS 80% of its oil. Majority of Rosebank’s oil will be put in tankers and sold overseas.
The UK public will see very little in return for the £3.75 billion tax break it is handing Rosebank’s owners.
Quote
PM said “my daughter is climate champion in our house”. So what does she think of climate-wrecking #Rosebank oil field, & handing £3.75bn of taxpayer cash to oil giant @Equinor to develop it? Can he look her in the eye & say he's giving young people a liveable future?
My #PMQ 
Shell just announced almost £4 billion in profit from the past 3 months alone.
Thanks to the UK's incredibly generous tax system, Shell is getting over £200 million in tax breaks to drill the Jackdaw gas field.
We're subsidising Shell's obscene profits.
“The widespread public and political pressure is what’s made Cambo untenable. There is now broad understanding that there can be no new oil and gas projects anywhere if we’re going to maintain a safe climate.” -
Activism works.
Activist confronts at #COP27 about the Rosebank oil field in the UK which would create as much CO2 as 28 countries in the Global South do annually.
Climate targets mean nothing if politicians aren’t willing to walk the talk.
Step 1: Commit to #StopRosebank.
✋ Hey, we need to talk...
These Shetlanders are calling on Norway to #StopRosebank.
Your state-owned oil company wants to build a MASSIVE oil field off the coast of Shetland.

The eyes of the world will be on Glasgow this year for #COP26 & the UK gov. will be doing everything in its power to divert attention from the Cambo oil field.
We need to raise a unified, global voice against this unjust and catastrophic proposal 🌍

"The most stupid thing is to bet on what has led us to this disaster"

The UN Secretary General is right. Fossil fuels aren't the solution to this crisis. They're the cause. We need to #StopRosebank and all new oil & gas.
A message from to the 🇬🇧 and 🇳🇴.
Rich countries have caused the climate crisis AND hold the resources to stop it.
Instead of taking urgent action, governments are giving away that money as tax breaks for oil giants and expanding fossil fuels.
#StopRosebank
BREAKING: 70 of the world's leading climate scientists, including , have called on the UK gov to:
✅#StopCambo
✅End all new investment in oil & gas
✅Ensure a managed and just transition away from fossil fuels
BREAKING: Shell just announced its highest EVER quarterly profits. In the first 3 months of 2022, Shell made over £7 billion in profit.
Shell is getting obscenely rich from rising energy costs and fuelling the climate crisis. #WindfallTax #StopJackdaw
Replying to
The UK exports 80% of the oil we produce.
During the height of the gas price crisis last year, gas exports from the UK actually rose.
New fields don’t improve energy security.
New fields won’t lower bills.

“The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels — period”
“We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open, with far too many willing to bet it all on wishful thinking, unproven technologies & silver bullet solutions”
The UK is set to drop its £11.6bn climate pledge but still plans to give £11.4bn in tax breaks to oil & gas companies to open new fields.
This is a huge betrayal and a slap in the face to the millions already experiencing the worst of the climate crisis.
WATCH: Norway’s Prime Minister get grilled on Rosebank’s disastrous climate impacts 🥵
#StopRosebank #EquinorOut
"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.
But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.
Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral & and economic madness."
-
Today at #TheBigOne climate & fuel poverty activists are picketing every UK govt building.
We're outside where the UK gov's addiction to fossil fuels is being enacted. Headed by , it's home to the oil & gas regulator where the decision on Rosebank sits.
“Can you imagine a world where people peacefully choose not to destroy the world?
Can you imagine a present where we decide to leave the oil in the ground?”
Solidarity with our friends in Ecuador today.
Win or lose today’s vote, the fight continues.
“The world is burning and the UK Government is helping the arsonists pay for the fuel.”
Equinor made more than £15bn in the first 6 months of 2023.
And STILL the UK wants to give them almost £4bn in tax breaks to drill Rosebank. It’s a sick joke.
BREAKING: Activists are occupying the UK government building in Edinburgh to protest the expected approval of the Cambo Oil Field in the North Sea 🔥

This is a massive win for all the campaigners that have fought so hard for this 👏 #StopShell
NEW: wants to classify natural gas as a "green investment".
Yeah, you read that right.
Instead of standing up to gas companies profiteering off of soaring bills, Kwasi is literally redefining the word "green" to get them even more money.
“Politicians who do not oppose this climate-wrecking oil field with all their might will be shown to be on the wrong side of history, & complicit with its devastating consequences. Rosebank must be blocked.”
is right. We must #StopRosebank
The oil industry wants us to believe they're unstoppable. They aren't.
Their power is starting to crumble.
Just look at the past two weeks 👇

Millions are going to struggle this winter. This government is refusing to act.
Rishi Sunak is happy to give £11bn in tax breaks to oil companies already making record profits but won’t spend a pound more to help parents keep their children warm & fed.
BREAKING: New analysis finds one third of the areas in the new oil & gas licensing round overlap with fragile marine ecosystems.
New oil & gas licensing is a threat to ocean life and an attack on nature.
🚨BP gifted tennis tickets worth thousands to Govt Minister Paul Scully, Conservative MP Gagan Mohindra & SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn.
BP is showering our MPs with gifts, while the world burns. It’s a disgrace.
MPs need to be on our side, not BP
🚨BP has announced profits of £6 billion for the first six months of this year.
While millions can't afford the basics, debt skyrockets, and large parts of the planet burn, oil giants are STILL raking it in.
BREAKING: Rosebank decision delayed
As we head into summer w/ record temp, this oil field will do nothing but break the UK’s own climate targets and throw fire onto the climate crisis.
By pushing back on every front, we can delay, block & #StopRosebank.
The UK gov. has approved the Abigail oil field, the first new oil & gas field in the UK since climate talks.
It will cost millions to build & will only produce enough gas to meet UK demand for roughly a day and a half.
It’s time to #StopAllFields 📢
"UK has shown leadership on climate change" says the man about to approve Rosebank, the largest new oil field in the UK.
Rosebank would produce as much CO2 as 28 countries in the Global South do in a year.
What kind of leadership is that ?
🚨NEW: The UK is set to make a huge loss of more than £750 million if Rosebank is approved.
Not only is Rosebank a disaster for the climate, the field will actually cost the UK government three quarters of a billion pounds #StopRosebank
NEW: Conservative MP Theresa Villiers had over £70,000 of shares in Shell while she was Environment Secretary.
This is a huge scandal.
Ministers responsible for protecting the environment profiting from companies wrecking the planet.
🚨BREAKING: The UK’s oil & gas regulator is colluding with industry lobbyists on how to best make the case for new drilling.
How can we trust its decision on the huge Rosebank oil field if, at the same time, it's helping oil & gas firms with their PR?
Labour's position on new oil & gas is the defining line for any party truly committed to tackling the climate crisis.
To limit warming to 1.5C, we can't have any new oil & gas.
If you're not opposing new fields, you're giving up on a liveable climate.
NEW analysis finds that new North Sea oil & gas fields won’t meet the UK’s energy needs or improve our energy security. But they will:
💷 Get billions in tax breaks
🔥 Accelerate the climate crisis
🛢 Trash our oceans
❌ Do nothing to lower bills
UK government: New licences are vital for UK energy security!
Shell exec: Uh...not really but thank you for the tax breaks!

To be totally honest, this was not a headline we expected to wake up to so soon. The oil & gas is spinning hard this morning with the same old arguments after Shell abandoned Cambo. But we achieved this win together. People power WILL #StopCambo Join us: Stopcambo.org.uk
“These claims are simply wrong. The UK is more hooked than most on gas and has the high bills to prove it. Real energy security comes from using less gas.”
Rishi Sunak & Grant Shapps are two men out of ideas, peddling dangerous lies rather than real plans
Today oil & gas giant released their annual & sustainability report 🕵️♀️
Here’s a summary:

🤫Also equinor: 99.87% of our energy comes from oil & gas.
You do the math. There’s nothing green about Equinor.
#StopRosebank
No, .
The UK is missing climate targets on nearly every front, even the gov’s own advisers & your colleagues say so. Only oil & gas billionaires stand on your side.
You need to take more than lectures on your record. You need to take real climate action NOW.

Rishi Sunak somehow thinks that by sucking more oil and gas out of the North Sea, the UK will DECREASE its reliance on fossil fuels???
Tomorrow, Rosebank's owner reports its Q2 profits.
In 2022, Equinor made a record £62bn.
While we struggled with energy bills, Equinor raked in:
£1,900 per second
£7.1m per hour
£170m per day
Now the UK is set to give Equinor billions in tax breaks.

Any politician that disagrees either doesn't understand or doesn't care.
This is true for the UK, US, Norway, Australia & all rich nations dodging their responsibility
