Shadow Transport Secretary Said Extinction Rebellion Has a Duty to Protest

Shadow Secretary of State for Transport Louise Haigh has some history of calling for “urgent action” on the “climate crisis”, though she’s kept quiet on her long-held activism for a little while. Co-conspirators might wonder whose side will she take when the eco-loons clamber on top of commuter trains…

In 2019 Haigh joined an Extinction Rebellion protest and exclaimed to listening eco-terrorists:

“It is your right if not your duty to stand up and wake up the world to this existential threat facing our humanity, so I am here alongside you tonight because over the world, scientists, teachers, doctors, police officers, parents, and teachers, have joined this movement.
