📢 @unitetheunion's new report reveals: £500/year of the average UK household's energy bills is going directly into energy company profits. The UK has the highest energy bills in Europe because of our system is privatised. We must bring this essential service into public hands.
🪫 @unitetheunion report: UK energy companies making £30 billion a year in profits #Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made £30 billion profit in just one year. The @GOVUK is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. That must change. Everyday

New North Sea drilling won’t lower bills, safeguard jobs or provide energy security. 80% of the oil we produce is exported abroad for profit. And we're running out of gas. Even with new fields, we'll be 94% dependent on imports by 2050. Don't believe the industry lies.
