Police have arrested two women after climate protesters threw red paint on the entrance to the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh.
Activists from protest group This Is Rigged, which is opposed to further North Sea oil exploration, have claimed responsibility for the act – the latest in a series of stunts the group has carried out on the day of First Minister's Questions. Edinburgh Live reports that the protestors targeted the Holyrood building itself after previous attempts to disrupt FMQs in the chamber prompted security to be tightened inside.
In a video posted to the outfit's TikTok account, police can be seen hauling protesters away after the walls of the building were coated in paint. One protester can be heard saying: "We have no time, the Government is not listening."
