The profits of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Shell have skyrocketed by 169% so far this year to $125 billion.

While you were paying through the nose at the gas pump, Big Oil companies were using the cover of inflation to line their pockets.

It's time for a windfall profits tax.

This raises so many questions.

People intent on raising the alarm about climate collapse arrested BEFORE they have started a protest.

Arresting people before a crime is committed?

Have @metpoliceuk used #spycops?

The right to protest is fundamental to a free society.

The £60bn "fiscal black hole" is fictional - it's entirely the product of tight fiscal rules imposed to destroy the public sector by hedge fund multimillionaire Sunak 👇🏽Austerity is always a political choice. https://t.co/PsWIzaxPKV

UBI was one of the main reasons I joined the Green Party. Many Welsh Greens were pivotal in getting the Senedd to run a pilot scheme that is now running🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Its brilliant to see this UK wide campaign now in place. Governments need pressure from various groups for it to succeed💚

Elon Musk spend his money on buying a social network just to stroke his fragile ego. Dolly Parton spent her money on putting 150 million books in the hands of children. BE LIKE DOLLY.

The UK has a “historic responsibility” to combat climate change

@GretaThunberg explains how our "political systems are failing us" and why the most powerful voices in this world are “the ones who are set on destroying it.”

@RakieAyola hi, my little boy is deaf. I’m campaigning for free BSL courses for parents of deaf children. No parent should have to pay to communicate with their child. Please can you retweet my petition? Thank you 😊 https://t.co/NPTsoh9Yrx

The bargain that George Osborne struck as chancellor was “fiscal conservatism and monetary activism”.

It has helped sustain the Tories in office for 12 years, but now it's unravelling, writes @georgeeaton. https://t.co/Sz6jYIZIcm

An apt choice!

This tired and out of touch Tory Government is indeed moving on out 🎶🌹

One thing you can guarantee with the Conservative Government - they keep the fact-checkers in business

‘Stop the attack on nature!’

A cuckoo, a short eared owl and some furious conservationists today protesting outside Conservative Party Conference about the Govt’s #AttackOnNature

@TheGreenParty @carla_denyer Some good coverage on BBC lunchtime news, about other, bigger, parties moving on to Green turf

From droughts, floods and fires, to oil spills, pipeline explosions, lung disease and cancers - climate-wrecking fossil fuels are killing people & planet. @WHO & 200 health orgs are joining our calls for a #fossilfueltreaty - they must stay in the ground for good

Russia Report shows credible evidence of Russian meddling in UK elections. @trussliz MUST deliver what Johnson refused to – a proper investigation into Russian interference in our elections, including #Brexit. Our democracy is at stake & must be protected

‘It is wrong to receive extraordinary profits, benefiting from war’

‘At this time profits must be shared and channeled to those who need them most’

‘Our proposal will raise €140bn to cushion the blow’

"How on earth does she think now is right time to protect Shell's profits and give Amazon a tax break?" asks Labour leader Keir Starmer

"I'm on the side of people who work hard and do the right thing," replies PM Liz Truss

We’re in a cost of living crisis, an energy crisis, a climate crisis, a food security crisis - and the first thing @trussliz calls for in her speech is... more roads???

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

People are literally swimming in sh*t, pumped into our waterways by privatised companies who prefer to invest in dividends & grotesque salaries instead of renewing infrastructure. Time to bring water back into public hands
