Streeting heckled by climate protesters after MPs criticise green subsidies for Drax
A heckler is removed as Health Secretary Wes Streeting speaks during the Fabian Society annual conference in the Guildhall, London, January 25, 2025

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.
