Say No To Polluter Payouts
Dear Prime Minister and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng,
We need to use public money to support a managed phase out of oil and gas production, decent green jobs and a just transition for workers and affected communities. It’s time to stop propping up the fossil fuel industry.
I call on you to end unfair tax handouts for big polluters and to redirect that money to the people and places that need it most - the communities that can lead and shape a greener, fairer future.
The longer you delay, the harder it will be to transition away. Now is your chance to deliver on your promise to build back better.
You have already taken the bold step of ending taxpayer support for fossil fuel projects overseas. Now, you must do the same at home.
The whole world is watching.

The UK has given almost £14bn in subsidies to the oil & gas industry since 2016. This has to end.
This year, Paid To Pollute will leave the courtroom and take to the streets. The stakes are simply too high for us to wait for another round of litigation, where the UK government defends the indefensible. If the UK government thought we were going away, they’ve got another thing coming.
What's next for Paid to Pollute? Join us on April 7th
Join us for a special call about the next stage of Paid To Pollute and where we'll share our plans for how to permanently stop the flow of public money to oil and gas. You helped us get to where we are today and together we want to shape the direction of where we go next.
