Fossil Free Parliament

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide.

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!

But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?

Now more than ever, we need politicians to take action to protect our future from climate collapse.

Fuelled by fossil fuel industry donations and climate denialism, Jenkyns and Reform will only intensify climate risk - in Lincolnshire and beyond.

The UK gov & IEA are hosting a summit on energy security - dominated by Big Oil 🤢.

There is no security of any kind in a fossil fuel future. The industry driving climate breakdown and profiting from energy price shocks must NOT continue to be allowed to influence policy in its favour.

🚨 START POINT ANNOUNCED - National Demo - Nakba 77
⏰ Saturday 17 May, 12PM
📍 Embankment Tube, London

Join us on 17 May as we mark the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba and demand our government take action to end the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land.

More #greenwashing exposed!

TotalEnergies tried to paint itself as a #CleanEnergy leader in an ad so misleading it got BANNED.

Meanwhile 90% of its sales still come from oil & gas.

Energy companies are:
⚠️Plunging people into debt
⚠️Driving a health crisis that's increasing the strain on our already overburdened NHS
⚠️Fuelling climate breakdown.

We need politicians to act NOW to bring bills down and make these pollution profiteers pay for the harms they have caused.

Scottish Labour could be the party that champions a clean energy agenda ahead of the 2026 Holyrood election, but to do that Sarwar needs to let go of the pipedream of new oil & gas and back a renewable energy industry that supports local jobs & homegrown power, not to mention a safe climate.
END

Anas Sarwar: “Energy security is national security” The leader of Scottish Labour is diverging from his party in Westminster when it comes to fossil fuels.

These comments from @anassarwar.bsky.social suggest a misunderstanding of both the UK's oil & gas licensing regime as well as a failure to grasp how little we can rely on North Sea oil companies to provide domestic energy security:

Stop Airport Expansion! Help us tell the government we don't want expansion at any UK airport, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton

📣 Stop Airport Expansion 📣

Help us tell the government WE DON’T WANT EXPANSION at any UK airport, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.

Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

HUGE NEWS 🎉: The UK Government has made good on its commitment to stop new oil and gas licensing.

This is a vital step towards ending our reliance on fossil fuels. Now the UK gov must go further and ensure a fast and fair transition.

Take MP & MSP actions to #StopRosebank To see the UK stop Rosebank and take the decisive leap of moving away from fossil fuels, we need to make sure that every MP and MSP hears from their constituents that for a safe climate and affordable energy, we must stop Rosebank and stop all new oil & gas now.

🚨This week people are meeting their MPs and MSPs to tell them we must *stop* new oil and gas.

Together, we’ve driven the fight to end new oil and gas up the political agenda. But the fossil fuel lobby will stop at nothing to protect its profits.
