BRITAIN’S biggest oil and gas producer Harbour Energy’s whopping £337 million profit comes “at the expense of every living thing on the whole planet,” campaigners said today.

Harbour Energy, who moaned last year that the Tory windfall tax would wipe out their profit, revealed its pre-tax profit today — down from £1.2 billion.

However, the fall in profits has been laid at the door of falling international prices rather than the windfall tax, which Harbour Energy now claim has reduced what it pays in tax.
