Streeting heckled by climate protesters after MPs criticise green subsidies for Drax

HEALTH Secretary Wes Streeting was heckled by climate protesters a day after MPs said wood-burning biomass company Drax should not be receiving £7 billion in green subsidies.

Two women shouted over him as he used an address to the Fabian Society to call for the centre-left to challenge the populist right on Saturday.

Both said they voted Labour in 2024 but were protesting against the continued subsidisation of Drax power station in North Yorkshire.
