Socialists tell fossil fuel companies to never come back to conference
BP

GREEN New Deal activists have told fossil fuel companies never to come back to Labour Party conference after a fringe meeting hosted by BP was successfully cancelled following mass pressure.

The joint meeting between the petrol giant and the New Statesman magazine, entitled “Net Zero 2050: Realising a Decarbonised UK,” was set to be held this morning.

The invite-only event was advertised as involving “policymakers, industry and third sector experts and academics,” and sought to offer fossil fuel industry perspectives on “advancing the energy transition.”
