BLACK paint has been poured over the walls of Michael Gove's office building after protesters voiced their opposition to the UK's first new coal mine in 30 years.
Activists from Extinction Rebellion poured black paint, lit black flares and glued themselves to the ground outside the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities in London.
They claimed that Michael Gove's decision to green light a new coal mine in Whitehaven in Cumbria was "complete madness" and called on the UK Government to end all new fossil fuel projects.
