Queues at petrol stations as pumps close because of oil protests

Drivers have been queuing at petrol stations to fill up their cars after some pumps began to run out of fuel due to ongoing protests. One in three petrol stations in parts of the UK are closed, according to The Sun, after protesters disrupted deliveries of fuel.

Campaign group Fair Fuel UK says 1,200 pumps south of the Midlands have run dry, tweeting: "We are getting credible intelligence that 1 in 3 garages have run dry of petrol and/or diesel particularly in the south, because of the ‘stop oil’ amoebas."

Home Secretary Priti Patel said: "Hard-working people across our country are seeing their lives brought to a standstill by selfish, fanatical and frankly dangerous so-called activists."
