Environmental activists arrested after covering UK PM Rishi Sunak's home in black
Activists from Greenpeace were arrested Thursday after scaling UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's constituency home in northern England and covering it with black fabric to protest his fossil fuel policy.
Sunak this week approved hundreds of new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea off Britain's east coast, angering environmentalists.
Separately, dozens of mothers joined forces outside parliament to demonstrate against the government's policy.
"We all know that climate science screams that we cannot have more fossil fuels... I am really furious on behalf of my kids," said protest organizer Lorna Powell, 37.
"Instead of being a climate leader and acting in the right way, he's decided that he is going to use it as a political game to try and stoke a culture war," she added.
