Government departments should cut ties with Greenpeace following the charity's protest at Rishi Sunak's empty mansion last week, Downing Street said
Government departments should cut ties with Greenpeace following the charity's protest at Rishi Sunak's empty mansion last week, Downing Street said.
The prime minister's official spokesperson said the organisation should not be given a"seat at the table" in Whitehall discussions of climate-related issues following the anti-oil stunt. However, Greenpeace campaigners hit back accusing the government of a"bunker mentality" and saying it is because ministers have"shut the door" on civil society groups that they protest the way they do.after scaling the roof of Mr Sunak's Yorkshire manor and draping it in a black-oil fabric while he was on holiday with his family last Thursday.
DEFRA would not comment on the reports at the time but Downing Street has now confirmed this is the case. The PM's spokesperson said communication with the group was no longer"appropriate" and all government departments should cut ties with Greenpeace.
