 Equinor is expected to get a UK government tax break of $3.75bn to develop the Rosebank oilfield.

"Hidden in the small print of the deal is that this project can only go ahead thanks to a massive tax break the government is giving to international oil and gas giant Equinor....This sum alone could have provided much needed additional support to help disabled households, those living off the gas grid and the elderly"
