Stop Rosebank
Does the government know what you think about new oil and gas?
The UK government is facing the climate test of their term in office. Equinor has reapplied to develop Rosebank: the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK, and the government is now looking at the responses to the consultation. There is still time to help our government make the right decision on whether to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Ask your MP to Stop Rosebank
The campaign’s simple tool to email your MP asking them to stop Rosebank has been updated. Put in your postcode and the email you send to your MP will either
- ask them to pledge to Stop Rosebank, or
- if they have already pledged, ask them to support the campaign by, for example, asking a question in Parliament.
It only takes 2 minutes.
A clever tax dodge?
Shell and Equinor are forming a new joint venture, Adura, which will be the new owner of the Rosebank oil field.
Adura looks to be exploiting a loophole that allows Shell to write off its profits against Equinor’s tax losses. If they succeed, investigators from Global Witness have found they will effectively dodge at least £1.3 billion in UK taxes.
The oil industry is seeking to privatise its profits while socialising its tax burden. Blocking this tax grab is a crucial second front in the fight to Stop Rosebank for good.

Green Christian is proud to have co-signed this open letter from civil society to the Prime Minister, calling on him to stop Rosebank, saying,
Prime Minister, this is your government’s opportunity to show the UK – and the world – that it will put people and the planet before polluters’ profits. We call on your Labour government to do the right thing and reject Rosebank.
Rosebank is a climate disaster that we can still stop. Together, we already overturned the last government’s approval in the courts and helped to bring in new government rules that make it harder to push it through.
Now it’s up to this government to make the right call.

In the same week that Shell looks like avoiding £1.3 billion on taxes, UK farmers report loess’s for 2025 of £828 million because of extreme weather conditions damaging harvests.
David Bainbridge:
WE seem to be making some progress as a nation, let us not take what would be a retrograde step.
