BRITAIN’S largest education union backed a boycott of the Science Museum over its sponsorship by fossil fuel giants Adani and BP today.

Delegates at the National Education Union’s (NEU) annual conference voted to support the campaign for schools to boycott the Science Museum Group until they cut the sponsorship ties.

They also declared: “The re-election of Donald Trump on a climate denial platform threatens the future of the children we educate.”
