Just Stop Oil protesters ‘wrong and arrogant’, says Keir Starmer

The Independent  

Sir Keir Starmer has said the Just Stop Oil climate activists who have stopped traffic and thrown food at valuable paintings are “wrong and arrogant”. Sir Keir said he did not know how activists blocking roads “can look in eye the families who have got someone in the back of an ambulance”, adding: “They certainly wouldn’t be able to look me in the eye, if it was my mum, late mum now sadly, who was in that ambulance.” The Labour leader insisted he was fully behind a move away from fossil fuels as part of a push towards renewable energy – saying he believed Britain can have clean power by 2030. I do think that new nuclear, as well, and hydrogen are part of the equation.” Videos shared online show both a fire engine and an ambulance on blue lights unable to get through traffic after dozens of Just Stop Oil protesters blocked three roads in London last week.
