BP profits soar to highest in a decade, renewing windfall tax calls – business live
GuardianAPR 2022
BP is making money hand over fist while the public suffers under rising costs of living. Prices for everyday items are becoming unbearable, and BP should feel obligated to help the British public as best it can.
BP has already bowed to the government's demands to cut ties with Russian oil and gas, and it has clearly shown that it's an ally of the British public. A windfall tax would only strip away profits that the company can reinvest in the UK - including in renewable energy infrastructure.
