Protesters demonstrated outside Barclays on Monday, calling for a boycott of the bank and urging the Scottish Government to remove it from its bond programme. Demonstrators say Barclays has financial ties to companies supplying Israel's military, and the action forms part of a wider boycott campaign linked to the war in Gaza.

Why now: Ongoing public anger over Israel's military campaign in Gaza is driving boycott campaigns against firms seen as supporting it.
