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. ✊

[Climate Resistance @climate_resist]

Our new campaign is live! #AbolishBillionaires

We have disrupted the Corporate Jet Investor conference at the Landmark London Hotel!

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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. 🔥

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

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 ✊🏽

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

🚨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?

[Green New Deal Rising @GNDRising]

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.

@CarolineLucas Read the article here: https://t.co/ckIvHuC6UH

And tell the government to protect & restore the right to protest here: https://t.co/0eugzjSaTE

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

“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?

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

Tell the UK government to stop the crackdown on freedom of expression and protect the right to protest - sign the petition here https://t.co/bgDXdySd4r

🚨IMPORTANT: Russia has sentenced 16 PEACEFUL climate activists to a whopping 41 YEARS.

Oh wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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! 👇

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. 😵‍💫

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

THIS 👇👇👇

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

#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 🙄

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

FUN FACT: this week revealed most Gen Z are in favour of turning the UK into a dictatorship…

Who else is shocked by this?

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

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!
