A major Bloomberg article is reporting that incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is preparing to announce support for the Rosebank oil field, within days of taking office on Monday.
Whether this is true or not, Burnham’s team WILL be monitoring reaction to inform his decision. He needs to feel the heat now before he goes too far.
Please take rapid action: We’ve launched an emergency response across social media exposing this threat.
🚨 Go to our post and tag your MP and Burnham in the comments or in your reshare of the post.
This is a terrifying look at how easily Trump and Big Oil can hijack our future through the leadership transition. Instead of listening to the science, experts, and the public, Burnham could cave to corporate pressure on day one! We cannot let Big Oil manipulate our country before he even steps foot into office.
We need thousands of us to share these posts tagging their MPs and Andy Burnham directly.
Because MPs have just gone on break, they will not be checking their email inboxes regularly. So we are bypassing their inboxes and taking direct, public action on their feeds.
Social media is the best way to be heard right now, but if you don’t have any accounts, you can still send an email to your MP.
📢 On the streets: Emergency protest in London
We need boots on the ground to show the incoming government that we will fight this every step of the way.
When: TOMORROW - Sat 18th July 11:00Where: Sir Winston Churchill statue, Parliament Square, London, SW1P 3JX GB
We have to move fast. Burnham takes office on Monday. Please take one minute to share the graphic, tag your MP, and forward this email to three friends right now.
We don't know what will happen. The fossil fuel industry does love to plant stories to test the waters and manufacture consent when power shifts. They want to see if we’ll roll over.
Let’s show Burnham that if he tries to side with fossil fuel giants on day one, our movement will stand in the way. When thousands of us stand together like this, they’ll have no choice but to listen.
