❌ Council pensions often in fossil fuel - affects teachers and staff around the UK 🤔 My recent article focuses on @norfolkcc.bsky.social fossil investments 🔥 Getting out of funding climate breakdown, for once and for all, must be priority at Sept pension committee www.edp24.co.uk/news/2622197...

Council staff, past and present, deserve better than fossil fuel pensions

Far right marches. Racism on social media. Relentless headlines about the so-called ‘migrant crisis.’ Britain has never felt more divided. Help us tell a different story.

UK pensions are investing in oil and gas assets being blown up in the Middle East war. It's a stark demonstration of risks being taken with our savings to prop up an industry causing climate breakdown. 🧵 www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Billions of pounds from UK public pensions are being used to bankroll the expansion of US gas companies And the gas terminals being built as a result are impacting the health of poor American communities
