In the last quarter alone, the 9 largest oil companies pocketed $95 billion in profits.
I call on governments to tax these windfall profits & use them to help vulnerable countries recover.
Polluters must pay.

The UN now seems to be supporting terrorist states.

No joke: Tomorrow at 10 am, the U.N. plans to elect the Islamic regime of Iran to its main subsidiary organ shaping priorities on women's rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. We urge all states who nominated Tehran — 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇸🇳🇱🇳🇴🇫🇮🇨🇭🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭— to reverse course and vote No.

This is how morally bankrupt the UN is. #DefundTheUN
SHAME: The U.N. General Assembly by 144 votes just elected Iran's Islamic Regime to the Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes priorities on Women’s Rights, Disarmament & Counter-Terrorism. Disgraceful reward for a regime that massacred tens of thousands of people.

Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.”
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?
I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.
How can anyone defend this?

DEFUND THE UN !!!!
This is insane - and not the first idiotic decision they have made.
#defundtheun
The UN just elected Iran - a regime that controls and executes women, hangs gays and dissidents, and chants, “Death to America” - to a key human-rights coordination committee.
144 countries voted yes.
The UN is a moral joke.
Why does the West tolerate this?

Britain supported this, what's wrong with Labour who would have told the UK Rep how to vote. #DefundtheUN

>1.5 billion women & girls live in climate hotspots.
As the world population is about 50% female and 50% male this means one of the following
1)Men and boys left the area without the women and girls
2)UN does not care about men and boys.
@UN which one it is it?
