CLIMATE campaigners unfurled a huge banner bearing the words “stop polluting politics” from Westminster Bridge today.
The stunt, which took place as MPs returned to Parliament after Easter, was part of a new campaign to end the fossil fuel lobby’s influence on British politics.
Stop Polluting Politics challenges MPs to reject donations from high-polluting industries, arguing that fossil fuel lobbying is leading politicians to abandon climate policies.
