If @Jeremy_Hunt announces spending cuts or raising taxes on workers today, remember that the UK is set to pay over a half a billion pounds to Norwegian oil giant @EquinorASA if it goes through with the Rosebank oil field. @EquinorASA has made almost £50bn in profit this year.

NEW: The UK has kept the windfall tax loophole to subsidise new oil & gas fields AND actually made it even more costly to the taxpayer. If you drill an oil field and use a wind turbine to power it, you'll get more tax breaks than just building a wind turbine #AutumnStatement

Tonight, After #TheOilMachine, an audience member who identified as oil company employee pointed out that there was a role to play for their industry in transitioning to renewables. @TessaKhan’s reply: “It’s very rarely the incumbent industry that disrupts itself.”

Although climate breakdown is overwhelmingly caused by the Global North, the impacts are hitting the #South far harder. In fact, by 2000 the damage rich countries’ #emissions caused to low-income countries (LICs) was already greater than LICs’ current foreign #debt. 6/12 🧵👇

Today, I delivered a petition to 10 Downing Street on behalf of 60000 people demanding the UK government #StopJackdaw. I'm incredibly grateful to be one voice in the ever-increasing wave of resistance against the UK government's climate-wrecking oil and gas proposals.

🆕 We’re at 10 Downing St. to deliver the letter that 60,0000 of you signed demanding the UK govt #StopJackdaw. 📜Our message: for a safer climate and for lower bills, the next Prime Minister MUST commit to no new oil & gas and #StopJackdaw. Read here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

...although transition may be tomorrow's struggle, not today's, it is also the people, not bosses, who should be listened to on how to build a green transition, just as today it is workers, not bosses, who should be heard on how to address the deepening cost of living crisis. 3/4

Full case name: Doe, Aceh, Indonesia v. ExxonMobil Corporation, No. 01-1357 (D.D.C.) Information on the case from attorney representing the plaintiffs against Exxon, here: cohenmilstein.com/case-study/exx…

I am breaking a Twitter hiatus to share enormously significant news: In a ruling today, one of the most critical human rights cases alleging truly horrific abuses against an oil company-John Doe v ExxonMobil-in Aceh, Indonesia, is now headed to trial after 20 years of litigation.

📢We've just responded to the @scotgov consultation on #CoalExtraction in Scotland. You can choose a future, or you can choose coal. You cannot choose both. The @WelshGovernment's policy is your starting point, but go further, close loopholes & rule out coal for steel.

Protect our green spaces! ✊🌿 On Sunday we marched from St Fitticks Park to Aberdeen Council to show how important this wildlife park is for the people of Torry. Visit: saintfittickstorry.com @fittick

🚨 BREAKING: @ScotClimateCamp activists are undertaking a mass tresspass at Aberdeen harbour to protest the fossil fuel industry’s ‘corporate land grab’ of St Fittick’s Park
