RT by @CarolineLucas: For Shell to post billions in profits, through a strategy of prioritising oil and gas over clean energy, just days after the planet experienced its warmest day on record, is sickening.

The Government should increase the rate of the windfall tax on these oil and gas giants and close the existing loopholes and tax-relief mechanisms they benefit from.

The profits could be spent on a programme of home insulation to bring down bills and reduce our carbon emissions.
