BREAKING: We’ve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. 🎉 👏 NO NEW OIL AND GAS! 📣 This is GAME-CHANGING. And it’s ONLY been possible thanks to YEARS of fighting by THOUSANDS of climate campaigners! Power to the people. ✊

Reminder that Jackdaw and Rosebank would NOT bring down our energy bills. ❌ This oil and gas instead would be SOLD on the international market to put MORE money in the pockets of fossil fuel bosses. So they can KEEP getting RICHER while the world BURNS. 🔥
The courts ruled the approval of Rosebank & Jackdaw as unlawful, exposing profit over public good. A huge win for @UpliftUK, @GreenpeaceUK, @StopCambo & climate campaigners — but the fight for public ownership, ending fossil fuels & stopping Heathrow’s third runway continues ✊🏽

These fields: - will NOT lower bills - will NOT make us energy secure - WILL fuel costly & deadly floods & storms What we REALLY need is for the government to support oil workers to transition into the secure green jobs of the future! 👷🧑🏭 Let's keep up the PRESSURE! 🪧

The government now has to make a fresh decision on these North Sea fields, taking into account their FULL climate impact. This should be an EASY one. 🤔 New oil and gas fields would be a DISASTER for the climate and they’re a TERRIBLE deal for the UK.

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £30,000 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

🚨REMINDER: Suella Braverman and Rishi Sunak passed anti-protest laws that the UN described as ‘deeply troubling’. Why are Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer continuing their legacy and stripping away our freedom of expression?

BREAKING: We’re outside @RachelReevesMP's big speech announcing support for a third runway at Heathrow to remind her of a basic fact: there’s no growth on a dead planet. 🧵

“Protest is part of how democracy works. In a past life, Starmer himself represented climate activists like those in court this week.” @CarolineLucas Instead of giving lengthy prison sentences for peaceful protest, how about we prioritise urgent climate action?

Here's some advice for @RachelReevesMP. If she REALLY wants to revive the economy, she should invest in green industries that can… 👷create JOBS; 💷lower BILLS; and 📈boost the ECONOMY ...for us ALL for LONGER. Tag her below so she gets the message! 👇

Reeves says "there'll be no trade-off between economic growth and net zero"... AGREED. So why're they doing THIS?? 🤔 It's all a BIT ridiculous.

But won't this be good for businesses? NO. Business travel is in long-term decline. Expansions to UK airports will mostly benefit a SMALL group of wealthy elite frequent-flyers... going on HOLIDAY. Possibly leaving the REST of us to pay BILLIONS for infrastructure at home? 🤡

BAD NEWS... The UK Government is BACKING a THIRD runway at Heathrow. But WE know that this will NOT grow the UK economy. You know what will grow? Pollution, noise, and general CLIMATE CHAOS. The LAST thing our economy needs is more BILLIONS in damage from storms and floods. 😵💫

THIS 👇👇👇
#HeathrowExpansion won’t deliver growth. Business demand is falling & more tourists leave than arrive. But it *will* trash climate commitments, drive more extreme weather, noise & air pollution & only benefit frequent flying super-emitters - the 15% who take 75% of flights 🙄

🚨IMPORTANT: Russia has sentenced 16 PEACEFUL climate activists to a whopping 41 YEARS. Oh wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.

We can ALL AGREE that our politics needs to change But sleepwalking into fascism is NOT THE SOLUTION. ✊ A working democracy IS a climate solution 🧪 Explaining climate science IS a climate solution 💌 Connecting across generations IS a climate solution

We can no longer assume that Gen Z already believes in a Climate Just future. We need to show them that a FAIR, GREEN FUTURE is not just ACHIEVABLE, but the best option we have!
