Insulate Britain are warning they will bring the UK to a ‘standstill’ when they resume their protest action this Spring.

The environmental campaign group announced on Tuesday that they are collaborating with Just Stop Oil, another eco campaign group, who are calling for the government to stop all licences for fossil fuel production.

The group has threatened to ‘intervene’ if the government doesn’t halt all future licences by the 14th of March.

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.
