BP profits: Sunak has failed the people of this country

7 Feb 2023

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Responding to energy giant BP announcing record profits of £23 billion in 2022, more than double the previous year, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:

“Yet another oil giant has been allowed to rake in huge profits from Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, while families choose between eating and heating.

“Rishi Sunak has failed the people of this country by ignoring calls for a proper windfall tax.

“This Conservative Government need to start putting people first instead of allowing energy bills to rise again this April.”
