UK environmentalists target Barclays in fossil fuels campaign

Protest's organisers say bank invested more $30bn in 15 fossil fuel projects from 2012-17

A UK-wide campaign is being launched to persuade one of the country's biggest high street banks to stop investing billions of pounds in the fossil fuel industry.

Activists from the Labour-supporting Momentum group will team up with the environmental group People and Planet to stage more than 40 "creative direct actions" at Barclays branches in town and cities across the UK later this month.
