@ShareAction @SalkeldIsabella @PSCupdates There have been two questions about Barclays climate lobbying including from @churchofengland pensions board.
Another shareholder questions the bank over its membership of the US chamber of commerce that he says is misaligned to Barclays climate commitments.

HUGE! @Christian_Aid a massive UK aid charity has ended its relationship with @Barclays over its fossil fuel funding

There are whispers that more orgs will ditch Barclays if it keeps funding new oil & gas

RT so that @BarclaysUK gets the message

🚨Some of the world’s largest investment banks have been lobbying to exclude chunks of their underwriting activity from net zero targets & disclosures

That's what happens when you let the foxes guard the henhouse. But the foxes can be stopped!
