It has staged numerous protests aimed at disrupting events, institutions or aspects of daily life, leading to thousands of its activists being arrested and more than 100 jailed. A High Court judge in London handed Theresa Norton, 65, and Mair Bain, 36, 80- and 40-day sentences respectively, which will be suspended for two years, meaning they will not serve jail time unless they reoffend.

“UK voters want warmer homes, cheaper energy bills and a government that’s not afraid to take on the climate crisis,” Philip Evans, a climate campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said.
