While ordinary British families struggle to cope with rising energy prices, oil giant BP has more than doubled its profits in the wake of Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war - an absolute disgrace. We need a further windfall tax now. news.sky.com/story/oil-gi...

BP profits more than double as Iran war sends oil prices higher - @eddavey.libdems.org.uk was right at PMQs to call for a windfall tax to reduce our travel costs. Starmer wrongly called that economically illiterate! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You know a windfall tax should be automatically applied in these situations. Think how much good taxing these price gouging corporations could bring.

While ordinary people suffer the oil corporations and their shareholders are raking it in #windfalltax

Time for a windfall tax on excessive oil company profits surely. #BP #itvnews

🚨 Yesterday we revealed energy firms posted £23.1 billion in profit from UK operations in 2025. That was before the war in Iran. Today BP reported £2.4 billion profit in just three months, beating forecasts by over half a billion. #WindfallTax #EndFuelPoverty #EnergyBills #EnergyPrices [1/3]

By all means advocate for a wealth tax / energy company windfall tax and use that money to invest in renewables. But please don’t use the money to convince people it’s ok to keep on burning ever more scarce gas & oil. Bad for everyone.

The SNP’s stance on a windfall tax couldn’t look more out of touch right now. I don’t believe they are ideologically against it. I believe they’re looking at seats in the north east and thinking “better not do it.”

Windfall tax their arses and put the proceeds into renewables!

BP announcing profits DOUBLE to $3.2bn (1st quarter) from reduced production Meanwhile most of us struggle to pay our energy bills Anyone out there still believe a windfall tax would be anti-business? #R4today

Yep. #WindfallTax on oil companies’ *excess* profits is needed. No extra work or value put into the commodity to cause the increase. It’s not earned. BP profits more than double as Iran war sends oil prices higher www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So we tax the money they make here, it's hardly rocket science, nor is that a reason not to implement a windfall tax. 🙄
