Suella Braverman – 2022 Comments on Just Stop Oil Stopping Emergency Vehicles

The comments made by Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, on Twitter on 11 October 2022.

Blocking ambulances and fire engines and putting lives in danger is completely indefensible.

I thank the Met Police who have arrested over 300 disruptive protesters from this self-defeating organisation so far this month.

I expect the police to use the full powers we have given them to stop those who are hell bent on disrupting everyone’s lives.

Our Public Order Bill will strengthen these powers further and toughen the penalties for guerrilla tactics.
