It follows the government’s approval of a new oil and gas field in the North Sea last month.

Insulate Britain spokesperson Craig Scudder discusses the group’s plans for ‘extreme protest’ this year, why they’re continuing their campaign, and what their new collaboration with Just Stop Oil means for them.
