Climate change protesters disrupt Barclays AGM

Barclays' meeting dominated by campaigners and complaints about chief executive

Climate change protesters have disrupted Barclays' annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday and were forcibly removed during an often fractious event, where the chief executive, Jes Staley, was accused of being "irrevocably tarnished" by his attempt to unmask a whistleblower.

Campaigners from the student group People & Planet said they were behind the protest, which lasted several minutes and brought the meeting at the QEII conference centre in London to a temporary halt.
