This. Is. Grim. 🤢

BP is cutting renewables.

With many architects rightly shunning the @britishmuseum's redevelopment project due to it being tainted by @bp_plc's dirty money, 5 teams of architects have now been shortlisted.

We urge them to think again - and withdraw their bids unless BP is dropped.
