Two protesters held a sign up in a foreground saying: 'Rishi Sunak - Oil profits or our future?' Greenpeace protesters claim to have climbed onto the roof of Rishi Sunak's Yorkshire manor house to protest against new oil and gas drilling. The climate campaigners tweeted a picture of activists on the roof of the Grade II listed property, which was draped in black fabric. Two protesters held a sign up in a foreground saying: "Rishi Sunak - Oil profits or our future?" Greenpeace tweeted: "Climbers are on the roof of Rishi Sunak's mansion draping it in 200 metres of oily-black fabric to drive home the dangerous consequences of a new drilling frenzy. Whilst we're on his roof, can you tweet at him now to #StopRosebank and commit to #NoNewOil." Mr Sunak departed for a family holiday in California yesterday afternoon so was not at home in his Richmond constituency this morning. It comes after the Prime Minister announced plans for more oil and gas exploration in the North Sea, with more than 100 new drilling licences expected to be approved in the autumn. Philip Evans, Greenpeace UK's climate campaigner, said: 'We desperately need our prime minister to be a climate leader, not a climate arsonist. Just as wildfires and floods wreck homes and lives around the world, Sunak is committing to a massive expansion of oil and gas drilling. He seems quite happy to hold a blowtorch to the planet if he can score a few political points by sowing division around climate in this country. This is cynical beyond belief. 'Sunak is even willing to peddle the old myth about new oil and gas helping ordinary people struggling with energy bills when he knows full well it's not true. More North Sea drilling will only benefit oil giants who stand to make even more billions from it, partly thanks to a giant loophole in Sunak's own windfall tax." * Follow Mirror Politics on Sn){kind=link}
