One Minute Brief of the Day: Create witty social content to shed light on the injustice of the energy industry raking in £420 billion in profits.

BREAKING:

A new investigation finds energy companies have made a combined £420 BILLION in profits since the start of the energy crisis… while we’ve all been struggling to pay our bills. Turn the spotlight on this scandal with your witty social content this #AprilFuelsDay - anything from posters and memes to gifs and videos.

The companies range from oil and gas producers such as Shell (who alone has made £84.5 billion!) through to lesser-known firms paid to get energy around the country (who have collectively made £30 billion in the process). All whilst struggling households have fought just to keep the lights on, built up crippling debt, or even died because their homes were too damp and cold.
More info on the investigation, which was conducted by our partners End Fuel Poverty Coalition, can be found here and here.
