The protest lasted for about five hours before police brought four protesters down from the roof shortly before 1pm.Mr Sunak went on holiday with his family to California on Wednesday and was not home at the time. Police later said a fifth protester was arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and remains in custody.
"Just as wildfires and floods wreck homes and lives around the world, Sunak is committing to a massive expansion of oil and gas drilling." It was right for Britain to use domestic resources "so we are never reliant on aggressors like Putin for our energy."Greenpeace activists walked onto the property at around 8 am local time.
A former deputy chief constable in North Yorkshire called for an investigation into how the group was able to get into the Prime Minister's house.
