RT @carla_denyer: Sunak's #WindfallTax is missing a trick, it incentivises further O&G investment & fails to incentivise renewables that can both reduce bills and tackle the climate crisis.
It is another missed opportunity to shape a clean green economy for the future.
We need a #DirtyProfitsTax

The situation is worse than what I picked up from his statement
It’s actually an 80% rebate on new investment by oil and gas industry to offset against their #WindfallTax liabilities
RT @GreenPartyMolly: Chancellor has announced he is giving a 30% bonus for all investments by oil and gas companies
He does not specify that this limited to investment in renewables
Unless it is this is driving the climate crisis not countering …

RT @Tom___Scott: Key point that's being missed about Rishi Sunak's Energy Profits Levy (#WindfallTax) on oil & gas profits: companies will be able offset investment in new fossil fuel extraction against their taxable profit. That's exactly what they'll do.
This tax is highly damaging to climate.

I don’t need my £400 windfall from the Chancellor
At @TheGreenParty we think the money should have been much better targeted on those who really do need it
But we can do our own personal targeting by increasing our donations to food banks

Uprating benefits by current rather than last autumn’s inflation rate is a step in the right direction
But benefits are utterly inadequate
Which is why @TheGreenParty is calling for an extra £40 per week on everybody on universal credit and other benefits

How has Brexit impacted on European energy and security policy?
And our ability to stand up to Putin in Ukraine?

@grantshapps If you had any shame, you would be ashamed of defending your disgraceful prime minister
He is bringing his office and our democracy into disrepute
And you are colluding

@OliverDowden No, no, no
Your prime minister has brought his office and our democracy into disrepute
You should be ashamed of yourself when you defend him

This poll from the Daily Express made me wonder whether I’ve been scammed by the BBC’s line:
RT @GreenPartyMolly: 🤔Tory MPs said they were waiting for outcome of Sue Gray report
🤮🍾I imagined they would see stories of vomiting and lawbreaking in No. 10 and immediately call for the PM’s resignation
😱But actually this was just a ploy to wait for the public to get bored
🤬And it’s worked

RT @GreenJennyJones: This is most definitely not my experience. Tory voters tell me they are disgusted with what's happened, and with what's still going on. They are particularly utterly disenchanted with the PM.
