Singing activists disrupt NatWest meeting over ‘climate backtracking’

AGM briefly adjourned after protesters wearing T-shirts labelled No more big oil' burst into song

The chair of NatWest was forced to defend the bank against accusations of climate backtracking" at a chaotic annual shareholder meeting, which was temporarily suspended owing to singing protesters.

Not long after the meeting began in Edinburgh, it was adjourned for about half an hour after a protester interrupted Rick Haythornthwaite's opening speech.
