Greenpeace has defended its protest at Rishi Sunak’s constituency home in Richmond, North Yorkshire – after activists covered the building with black fabric in response to the prime minister greenlighting new gas and oil drilling licences in the North Sea.
Speaking to Storm Huntley on Channel 5, the campaign group’s co-executive director Areeba Hamid accused the PM of pouring more fuel on the fire in the middle of a climate emergency.
