This bit is key:
"The analysis found that fossil fuel lobbyists were present at 48% more ministerial meetings during Labour’s first year in power than under the Conservatives in 2023."
Starmer's Labour has opened the door to the oil and gas industry. Is that because of the donations they accept?

⚠️ Big polluters like Shell, BP and Equinor are stakeholders in an unjust system. They’re keeping profits and prices high, wages low and climate action dangerously slow. (2/5)

🚨BREAKING: fossil fuel reps met government ministers 500+ times in Labour’s first year in power.
💀 That’s two meetings every working day, overshadowing the meetings held with climate and social justice groups by three to one (1/5)

USS invests our pension contributions in Barclays HSBC Santander NatWest and Lloyds. All pumping money into new fossil fuels. This must stop- no pensions on a burning planet.
Our pensions and banks are financing the climate and nature crises.
HSBC has been found by Global Witness to be funding deforestation in one of South America’s largest forests... 🪵
Do you bank with HSBC? Switch to a green bank today 👋https://makemymoneymatter.co.uk/bankswitch

😡This is outrageous! The windfall tax should be used to lower the public's energy bills - not effectively funnelled back into oil & gas company pockets!
