£22bn of public money For tech that fails 80% of the time Makes you wonder who’s in charge 🙃
Platform@PlatformLondon18 Dec 2025
The UK has committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits🙃

New North Sea drilling won’t lower bills, safeguard jobs or provide energy security. 80% of the oil we produce is exported abroad for profit. And we're running out of gas. Even with new fields, we'll be 94% dependent on imports by 2050. Don't believe the industry lies.

Last year UK billionaires’ wealth grew by £35 million a day, while many struggled to afford the basics. Society should work for the people who keep it running, not the rich and powerful. It's time to make the super-rich pay. Add your name if you agree 🔽 actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Prime Minister: It’s time to Make Them Pay

Billionaires and polluting corporations are increasingly destroying lives and being rewarded with more vast wealth, while working people worldwide are left to pick up the pieces.   If we don’t fight...

UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010. ▪️2010: £250 billion ▪️2025: £620 billion While workers’ wages have flatlined. When Parliament returns next week, I’ll be stepping up the campaign for a wealth tax. Ask your MP to sign my Parliamentary Motion on this.
