Greenpeace cover Rishi Sunak's mansion in oil-black fabric as soon as he goes on holiday

After Rishi Sunak announced he was going on holiday yesterday (2 August), Greenpeace have this morning climbed on top of his Yorkshire mansion and draped it in oil-black fabric.

The drastic action is in protest at his backing for a major expansion of North Sea oil and gas drilling.

Activists could be seen sat on the roof of the swanky home holding a giant sign that reads 'no new oil'.

The house itself became invisible, masked in the 200-metres of fabric covering it entirely.
