Rishi Sunak vows to stop eco-loons ruining ‘summer of celebration’ amid fears they could target coronation
RISHI Sunak today vows to protect Brits from “selfish saboteurs” in the eco mob amid fears they will target the Coronation.
The PM promised a “no nonsense approach” to stop groups such as Just Stop Oil and Animal Rising ruining the UK’s “glorious summer of celebration”.
And he savaged “Sir Softie” Keir Starmer for “siding with the disrupters” over hardworking Britons.
The PM spoke to The Sun on Sunday amid warnings eco fanatics could try to lie in front of King Charles’ horse-drawn carriage on Coronation Day.
Mr Sunak said: “The public wants us to put a stop to selfish saboteurs disrupting their lives — and so do I.”
He added: “Sun on Sunday readers deserve a no-nonsense approach.

"They deserve to see law-abiding citizens protected against a minority trying to make their lives miserable.”
He slammed unelected Labour peers for trying to block new rules criminalising slow-walking.
He said: “Labour sided with the disrupters. We will not allow Sir Softie to stitch this up for his activist supporters.
“The British people have a glorious summer of celebration ahead.”
Sir Keir’s team denies he backs the eco rebels and that he is soft on crime.
Thousands of police and soldiers will line the streets of central London at the Coronation on Saturday.
Tim Bonner, CEO of the Countryside Alliance, said: “There are suggestions some [disrupters] could foolishly attempt to lie in front of carriages”.
Yesterday, Just Stop Oil protesters blocked traffic outside Westminster Abbey.
