Three Greenpeace activists who draped oil-black fabric over the side of Rishi Sunak’s North Yorkshire mansion, in a protest responding to his promise to “max out” UK oil and gas reserves, have been charged with criminal damage.
Mathieu Soete, 38, of Hackney in east London, and Amy Rugg-Easey, 33, and Alexandra Wilson, 32, of Shiremoor, North Tyneside, were each charged with a single count of criminal damage over the stunt at the prime minister’s family residence last August.
