Insulate Britain pauses roadblocks to give PM ‘chance to do the right thing’

Environmental protest group suspends direct action campaign with open letter to Boris Johnson

Insulate Britain has said it is pausing its roadblock campaign for 10 days, in a letter to the prime minister calling on him to get on with the job" of insulating Britain's homes.

A spokesperson for the group said the decision was taken midway through last week, to give the government time to consider its demands. Its five-week campaign of direct action has caused disruption on motorways and busy roads in and around London.
