FOSSIL fuel giants are “picking our pockets and stealing our future,” Jeremy Corbyn has said ahead of a major online event highlighting the link between climate change and the cost-of-living crisis. 

Tomorrow’s “national emergency” meeting, hosted by direct action group Just Stop Oil, will see the former Labour leader join forces with television presenter and naturalist Chris Packham along with leading figures from the social, racial and environmental justice movements. 

Speakers will push for mass civil resistance against the fossil fuel industry, accusing it of contributing to climate breakdown while also pushing up prices in the absence of government action.
