BORIS JOHNSON once again ducked his responsibility to address the climate emergency today when he shunned activists’ demands for a meeting at Tory HQ.

Extinction Rebellion (XR) campaigners waited outside the Conservative Party headquarters in Westminster at midday, hoping that the PM would accept their written invitation to a face-to-face discussion on tackling the global warming crisis.

But the letter, penned by XR hunger strikers Pete Cole, 76, and Marko Stephanov, 67, last Friday, was ignored.
