The gutting continues. Big Oil has been slashing jobs for years and is continuing this year. It's automating work, because computers are cheaper than humans, and it's consolidating.
Job growth = renewables (ditched by Big Oil)
Job loss = fossils

Every time Labour makes it harder for people to access benefits, education, healthcare, food, energy - the far-right can capitalise on scarcity narratives. This is what we mean when they say that the riots of August were not taken seriously at a policy level. It's not rocket science.

The theme of IWD was set in 1911: socialist feminist revolution!
Every IWD I have the same tantrum! There is no “theme”! A PR company that has nothing to do with the feminist movement makes it up! The “theme” website is run by Aurora Ventures! I’m sure they’re perfectly nice but they have nothing to do with feminist socialist grassroots movements!!!

In 2024, the UK’s billionaires increased their collective wealth by £35 million every day. Corporate profits are soaring. Instead of trying to balance the books on the backs of the poorest both in the UK and abroad by cutting welfare and aid, it's time this government started taxing wealth fairly.

Study finds the wealthiest could cut their disproportionately high emissions but largely don’t want to. Flying makes up a big part of those emissions.

This research is a strong argument for regulation & progressive fiscal measures (eg a frequent flyer levy) to prompt behaviour change.

Good on Anneliese Dodds for resigning.

It’s morally repugnant that Starmer is cutting the aid budget.

Is BP acting in good faith by saying it's lowering its (already very low) renewables ventures and throwing an additional $10 bn at oil and gas production that will render our futures untenable? No

But is it least returning value to shareholders? Also No

Wow – amazing news this morning. Getting to net zero will be even cheaper than we previously thought & could save households £700 a year on bills, with more savings from switch to EVs. This is win-win-win for people in the UK and govt must commit to making it happen.
This will require initial investment, but we expect to start seeing savings in the Seventh Carbon Budget period. We think it’ll cost about 0.2% of GDP from now to 2050. This is less than we thought when we last gave advice in 2020.

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.

Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time.

The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.
BP shifts course, boosting fossil fuel investments and cutting renewables
BP said on Wednesday it would increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of CEO Murray Auchincloss' efforts to boost returns and improve financial performance.

The Tories know people are struggling and looking for someone to blame so they’re trying to point the finger at those with the least recourse to fight back - the ppl we all clapped, the ppl who actually keep the UK going.

Labour should be opposing this toxic and hateful nonsense.

Today’s announcements are just the next iteration of cruel, costly and ineffective policies that stoke division in communities.
