One of the latest climate-related actions also took place outside the office of Scottish Labour MP Ian Murray. According to the group:
Similar protests were also staged in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Brighton, Cardiff and across the Midlands, targeting other members of the Shadow Cabinet.
