Big polluters like BP, Shell and Equinor muscled in on 506 meetings with government ministers during Labour's first year in power. That's two meetings every working day, and overshadows the access for unions and climate justice organisations.

But these companies don’t speak for us:

❌ not for people struggling to pay their bills over winter as the energy price cap rises

❌ not for workers treated like dirt by profiteering companies

❌ not for neighbourhoods building clean energy and community wealth from the ground up

Fossil fuel lobbyists are stakeholders in an unjust system. They’re keeping profits and prices high, wages low and climate action dangerously slow.

Join us to explore new data on fossil fuel power and build the skills and strategy we need to kick polluters out of government.
