The stunt took place while the coach was stationary at a campaign event in Nottinghamshire, although Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was not onboard at the time.
Amy Rugg-Easey clambered onto the coach using a ladder while it was parked in Nottinghamshire, on Wednesday, for a planned visit by Home Secretary James Cleverly.Ms Rugg-Easey unfurled a banner reading "clean power not Paddy Power", in reference to the election date betting scandal, and stayed on the roof for 12 minutes.
She said: "We've climbed on to Sunak's battle bus today to remind the British public that it is the Conservative government's consistent failure to deliver greener, fairer policies that has created the mess we're in.A Nottinghamshire Police vehicle and two officers appeared at the site of the campaign visit after the Greenpeace protesters and the Tory bus had left.
"But in an election where the debate is so sort of poor and weak, and there's so many lies and untruths about both the economy and climate, we think it's legitimate and important to make our point, and in whatever way we can."by North Yorkshire Police at Sunak's home in the county on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
