Furious reactions as Shell make record profits while we can’t pay bills

Shell just reported record profits of £32,000,000,000

Such outrageous profits are why your bills are so high.

We need to hike the Windfall Tax so North Sea oil and gas giants don't make a single penny in excess profits off the back of higher energy bills for ordinary people.

NEW: Shell posts record profits – while families worry about another price spike.

The government must bring in a proper windfall tax on energy giants – to stop the energy price cap going up in April.

Only Labour will keep bills low now and in the future.https://t.co/j2AyTuHPuI

As the British people face an energy price hike of 40% in April, Rishi Sunak is letting the fossil fuel companies making bumper profits off the hook with his refusal to do a proper windfall tax.

Labour would stop the energy price cap going up in April. https://t.co/nrTefXgR3g

.@Shell are climate criminals – polluting our planet & escaping with its highest profits *ever*. Yet our Govt is their accomplice – locking in more climate-wrecking fossil fuels & handing over a gas giveaway. For a liveable future, we must kick out fossil fuels for good pic.twitter.com/iNg9IDZyV1

NEW: Energy giant Shell reports record profits of $40bn. That has doubled, largely as a result of the surge in energy prices following Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

And when it’s a record for Shell, that really means something- the company has existed for 115 years.

Shell's profits are £32bn. And pensioners are freezing to death.

Amid news reports of people struggling to pay energy bills, Shell announces record annual profits of nearly $40bn. That’s more than double $19.3bn S reported in 2021 & breaks the previous $31bn record the oil & gas giant set in 2008

The #Shell profits are obscene. They get a lot more obscene when you read this devastating report alongside them https://t.co/VCaAUhxSx2

Shell have just announced record profits of £32 billion, a rate of £80 million profit every day in 2022.

Renationalise energy now!

Shell has just reported its highest profits in its 115 year history.

They made £32.2 billion in profit in 2022.

Your gas bill has doubled in a year. Shell’s wholesale costs are lower today than this time last year.

A rip off.
