Latest campaign posters now up around Nottingham.
Many politicians will tell you that gas is cheap and renewables expensive... but it's the other way around!
This campaign addresses that and means lower bills.

Lower our energy bills!

Gas companies are raking in high profits while our household bills go up. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good.

Did you know the plastic industry is Making Oil Great Again? 🛢️🤑🛢️
