Climate campaigner ejected from Labour event sponsored by Drax power plant firm

Activists interrupt party conference debate to criticise company's wood-burning biomass operations

An environmental campaigner has been ejected from an event sponsored by the power station operator Drax at the Labour party conference after criticising the company's use of biomass.

The owner of the North Yorkshire power station sponsored a debate on Tuesday on Britain's net zero climate goals on the fringes of the political party's conference in Liverpool. The company's group director of corporate affairs, Clare Harbord, was on the panel.
