Polluters broke it, we're paying for it. Make Polluters Pay Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis and leaving us to pay the price - Sign the Polluters Pay Pact.

Sign our huge people-powered petition telling the UK government to force Shell and other fossil fuel companies to pay for the damage they've caused: act.gp/3ZPWjRJ

Shell just announced £15.6 BILLION in annual profit for 2025 - whilst the bill for damage caused by extreme weather in the UK was £2.8bn.

Oil Giants are making huge profits off climate destruction, while the rest of us have to foot the bill.

Anyone else think this is unfair?

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £18,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you STILL would not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

‘A migration model based on human rights’: Spain to grant legal status to half a million undocumented migrants | CNN Spain has announced it will grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented migrants, in a move that goes against a trend of anti-immigration rhetoric and policies in the United States and much of Europe.

GOOD NEWS: Spain has announced a scheme to grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented migrants.

Instead of unleashing state violence, we can create compassionate, legal routes to documentation.

Who else thinks the UK should be following Spain's lead, NOT the US'?

Stop British-made weapons being used in Gaza With each day that passes more lives are lost in this conflict, and weapons sold by the UK are fuelling the fire. British weapons should NOT be used to commit possible war crimes in Gaza.

Since 2012, Elbit Systems has won 25 public contracts in the UK worth more than £333m. The loss of this £2bn contract is a BIG victory against the arms trade.

But the UK government is STILL selling weapons to Israel. Keep up the pressure to END their complicity: act.gp/4jKGx43

🚨BREAKING: Prisoners END their 73-DAY hunger strike after huge WIN.

The government BLOCKED a £2bn contract to train British troops with the UK wing of Israel’s BIGGEST weapons company - a key demand for the activists.

Lower our energy bills! Gas companies are raking in high profits while our household bills go up. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good.

Tell the government to act now to stop gas companies ripping us off: act.gp/4bmCBnD

Most people don't know that gas sets the price we pay for power.

Profit-hungry gas companies have Britain's electricity prices in a choke hold. [2/3]

Thanks to perseverance and people power, offshore wind went from a niche idea to the backbone of the UK power grid.

In the 25 years since the Blyth wind farm was built, the UK’s electricity has gone from being 74% fossil fuels in 2000, to 51% renewables in 2024.

This change wasn’t inevitable, but was the result of years of public pressure & peaceful protest.

We lobbied to show how offshore wind could create jobs, slash emissions, and provide 1/4 of Britain’s power by 2020.

Some GOOD NEWS: this week marks the 25th birthday of the UK’s FIRST offshore wind farm! 🥳🎂

25 years ago, offshore wind was still a risky, unproven idea.

Now, the UK leads the world in harnessing clean power from our coasts. 🧵

The UK gov is choosing a few greedy industrial fishing corporations over our local fishermen.

It’s a national disgrace.
