Take it to the leader


Five people have been arrested after activists climbed on the roof of the prime minister's home to protest at 100 new North Sea oil and gas licences.
Campaigners had unfurled "oil-black fabric" on the house in a North Yorkshire village, Greenpeace said.
Two men and two women were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage and public nuisance after they returned to ground level at about 13:00 BST.
A third man was also arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance.
North Yorkshire Police said all those arrested remained in police custody.
Rishi Sunak's office confirmed neither the prime minister nor his family were present at the time.
One of the protesters had earlier told the BBC they had scaled the building to "bring home to the prime minister the really serious consequences of a new drilling frenzy in the North Sea".

North Yorkshire Police said the force had been made aware of the incident at Mr Sunak's constituency home at about 08:05.
Officers had "contained the area" and no-one had entered the building, a spokesperson said.
A large cordon was put in place and specialist police liaison officers were used to bring the protesters down from the roof of the property, they added.
Assistant Chief Constable Elliot Foskett, said: "There was no threat to the wider public throughout this incident which has now been brought to a safe conclusion."
When asked about the incident, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said he thought the British people were "sick of these stupid stunts".
Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the incident was "disgraceful".
"This is against the law and rightly the police are taking enforcement action.
"The prime minister's home and family should never be targeted in this way."

'Under assault'​

Meanwhile, the Conservative chair of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee Alicia Kearns said the action by Greenpeace was "unacceptable".
She said the family homes of politicians should "not be under assault".
"Before long police will need to be stationed outside the home of every MP," she said.
Responding to the protest, a No 10 source said: "We make no apology for taking the right approach to ensure our energy security, using the resources we have here at home so we are never reliant on aggressors like Putin for our energy.
"We are also investing in renewables and our approach supports 1000s of British jobs."

A police cordon was in place at Rishi Sunak's home in North Yorkshire on Thursday
A former deputy chief constable of North Yorkshire Police said he was "absolutely astonished" by the incident.
Peter Walker, who left the force in 2003, told BBC Radio York: "You really have to wonder how people have been able to gain access to the prime minister's residence without hindrance."
Mr Sunak purchased the house after becoming the MP for the rural Richmond constituency in 2015.
The Grade II listed property was built in 1826 and has extensive gardens.
In 2021, planning permission was granted for an annex with a swimming pool, gym and tennis court.

It's more intimidation than protest in my opinion. Why go to his house?

If a group of anti-gay protestors did this at a gay MPs house I wonder what the response would be

They have finally done what I have been saying for ages take your message to those that make the rules instead of inconvenienceing those that don't.
Before someone points it out I know this was green peace not JSO, no disruption and their message is all over the news this morning, one of the protesters is on LBC now.

As for you point about anti gay protest that would be homophobia which is a hate crime, JSO and GP are trying to do something positive not negative and have a lot of support I don't think there would be much support for the anti gay protest especially in a country where a huge majority are not anti LGBT.

Below is exactly where I feel transport should be going, all be it with a plug fitted rather than straight hybrid. Fun, real world convenient and good for the environment.

If that is true its going to be a game changer.

Nakajima added: “If we also downsize major components like a car’s air-conditioning system, we can lower the cowl height and get a very good Cd value. We can realise a 1000km [620-mile] range, easily.”

good for the environment is debatable, better than existing perhaps. I still say less cars more public transport is the only way forward

In my mind it is no worse than an all electric car, they are not exactly environmentally friendly either. At least this is something even a petrol head could be converted to and would require far smaller batteries and only a frugle petrol engine for long distance as and when needed.

Public transport needs to improve and can certainly be a good thing if it is cost effective and widely, instantly available but it is no solution and I can't see it taking that many cars off the road in reality.

I have to commute 14 miles each way daily but often have other places to go that are off my route e.g. the gym, my mother's, the school etc. Public transport doesn't work for me and I'm not alone in that one.

I hope I don't come across as someone that doesn't want things to change, I do, but the idea of electric cars and robotaxis being a solution is a Hollywood fantasy, we need other more realistic solutions.

Robo taxis won't really be efficient anyway as there would be such high peak demand at rush hour for work and school time.

Well 14 miles commute perfect for cycling and removing the need for the gym!!
But in reality proper organised public transport is the only way forward, the amount of energy used to make nevermind power personal transport is unsustainable

Yes, the green business is a con trick, thinking petrol/hybrids/&EVs are the answer

And how many people are fit enough or do not have ailments to cycle 14 miles a day.
Maybe you can but get a grip

I do enjoy Cycling, but cycling is no replacement for the gym, plus of course its inconvenient for work since you would turn up soaked in sweat or rain. Like all the other daft ideas, Cycling is not a viable commuter option.
Organised public transport is needed to reduce traffic but is no substitute for a car in day to day life.

If you read the first line with no humour then get a grip. (Drive a car to the gym!!!!??!!)

As I've posted in previous everyone has to put into the actions taken including showers at work, fairly normal in some places.

And organised public transport could involve easily/reliably taking bikes on public transport
