Let the profit grown then tax it , or better still take down VAT and green levy.

Shell has already said it will invest £20bn to £25bn in the UK in the next decade in low carbon energy and in UK gas and oil supplies.
So, leave the money that they lost pulling out of Russia out and they “only” made £5 billion in the first three months of this year. Therefore, it will take them a whole year to make the money they tell us they will be investing in the country over a decade.
