Government Severs Ties with Greenpeace Following Protest at PM's Residence

The UK government has announced that it will cut ties with Greenpeace following a protest at the home of Chancellor Rishi Sunak. Activists from the environmental group scaled the prime minister's house during an anti-oil demonstration. Five people were arrested and released on bail. The government stated that engagement with Greenpeace is no longer appropriate due to their alleged law-breaking actions. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has also ceased engagement with the group. Greenpeace criticized the government's decision, emphasizing the need for urgent action on climate change and inviting government officials to discuss environmental policy.
