XR activists demand government blocks development of North Sea oil field
Welsh Labour come out fighting to win by-election
A DOZEN Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists occupied the UK government’s offices in Edinburgh today to demand it block the development of an oil field in the North Sea.

The Stop Cambo Scotland group wants Prime Minister Boris Johnson to halt the expected approval of the oil field just months before Glasgow hosts the United Nations Cop26 climate conference.
