Just Stop Oil activists outside Rishi Sunak’s home in west London

JUST STOP OIL activists banged pots and pans outside PM Rishi Sunak’s west London home as they demanded police “arrest the real criminals” on the eve of the Cop28 climate summit.

About 18 environmental activists were joined by musician Louise Harris, who played her chart-topping protest song We Tried outside the PM’s Kensington property on Wednesday night.

Police said 16 protesters were arrested following the demonstration as it emerged Mr Sunak, Foreign Secretary David Cameron and King Charles took separate private jets to the conference in Dubai.

One of the activists, community worker Pia Bastide, 29, said: “People with flooded homes can’t sleep. Children dying from starvation can’t sleep. Communities staring down wildfires can’t sleep. So why should climate criminals like Rishi Sunak get a peaceful night’s sleep?”

Just Stop Oil added in a statement: “There should be no rest for the wicked.

“Rishi Sunak has already abandoned the promises he made to his own children on climate — he should have listened to them.
