Today’s marches comes after UK prime minister Rishi Sunak yesterday said he would not be giving in to the ‘eco zealots’ threatening to disrupt the ‘British summer’.
The prime minister instead claimed the UK would ‘transition to net zero’ in a ‘sensible, practical way’ as he argued Just Stop Oil’s protests are not a ‘constructive way to tackle climate change’.
Yesterday’s protests saw Just Stop Oil campaigners launch their largest day of action ever as 200 protestors targeted 15 separate locations.
The protests saw 183 Just Stop Oil members moved off the roads and 21 campaigners arrested.
