CLIMATE activists superglued the door locks at almost 50 branches of Barclays today in protest at the bank’s financial involvement in fossil fuel industries.

The co-ordinated night-time action was mounted by activists from Money Rebellion in the early hours of this morning.

Money Rebellion, a sister organisation of the Extinction Rebellion climate action group, accused Barclays of “continued climate-wrecking criminal damage which endangers the future of all life on the planet.”
