TL;DR Summary

Greenpeace protesters draped the private home of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in black fabric to protest the government's policy on drilling for oil. Sunak's environmental record has faced scrutiny, with critics accusing him of prioritizing oil profits over climate change. The protesters targeted the government's backing for new North Sea oil and gas licenses and a proposed development of Equinor's Rosebank oilfield. Sunak's ministers have introduced new laws to clamp down on protester tactics. A recent poll showed that 67% of voters believe the government is handling environmental issues poorly. Sunak defended his record, stating that Britain has done a better job than other countries in cutting carbon emissions.
