🛢️🌎 New research from #KickBigPollutersOut reveals that more than *5000 fossil fuel lobbyists* accessed the previous four COPs combined.

It's little wonder the conference keeps failing to commit to a fossil fuel phase out.

There was never any time to waste: big polluters must be ejected from COP!

❌ Our politicians should be booting them out the door of Westminster, not giving them a backstage pass! (3/5)

⚠️ Big polluters like Shell, BP and Equinor are stakeholders in an unjust system. They’re keeping profits and prices high, wages low and climate action dangerously slow. (2/5)

🚨BREAKING: fossil fuel reps met government ministers 500+ times in Labour’s first year in power.

💀 That’s two meetings every working day, overshadowing the meetings held with climate and social justice groups by three to one (1/5)

GOOD NEWS 🎉: A court in South Africa has revoked Shell's permission to drill a number of offshore exploration wells off the country's south-west coast.

The Judge found the environmental approval "woefully deficient" on the potential coastal impact of the exploration.

It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International.

No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

Billionaires have broken Britain. #MakeThemPay to fix it.

On Saturday 20 September, thousands of us will take to the streets to demand the government:

✅ Tax the super-rich
✅ Protect workers, not billionaires
✅ Make polluters pay

Spread the word today!

😡This is outrageous! The windfall tax should be used to lower the public's energy bills - not effectively funnelled back into oil & gas company pockets!

⚠️While fossil fuel companies hold the ear of government, their interests will be served over the public's: we must kick them out of our politics!
