CLIMATE activists gathered outside Parliament today to voice their outrage against the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill ahead of its second reading in the Commons.

Members of Fossil Free London (FFL), Just Stop Oil (JSO), Extinction Rebellion (XR) and Scientists for XR held banners and placards as MPs entered Parliament.

The campaigners warn that if passed, the Bill will allow fossil fuel corporations to bid for new North Sea licences every year.
