Woman who withheld council tax in climate protest faces losing home

Jane McCarthy, who has terminal cancer, withheld payments for three years in protest at Buckinghamshire council's fossil fuel investments

A woman who withheld council tax payments for three years in protest at her local authority's continued investment in fossil fuels fears losing her home.

Jane McCarthy, 74, said she decided on the protest after becoming increasingly fearful about the impact of climate breakdown on future generations, particularly when she learned about climate tipping points at a local meeting.
