Greenpeace activists have said they have scaled Rishi Sunak’s mansion in protest at his new drilling “frenzy”.

The campaigners said they had draped the Prime Minister’s manor house in North Yorkshire with an oil-black fabric to “drive home the dangerous consequences”.

They took the action on Thursday as Mr Sunak and his family are away on holiday in California.

Police were at the scene “managing the situation”, as Greenpeace faced criticism for targeting his family home in Kirby Sigston, near Northallerton.

Mr Sunak, the MP for Richmond in North Yorkshire, has said he plans to “max out” the UK’s oil and gas reserves by granting more than 100 new licences for extraction in the North Sea.

Great action by Greenpeace, although I am afraid the 'Powers That Be' are totally insensitive to it. May the implications of Mr.Sunak's plans to heat-up the climate be on the heads of those responsible.
