Amy Rugg-Easey got on to the coach as it was parked in Nottinghamshire for a planned visit by James Cleverly.
A Greenpeace activist has climbed on to the Tory election battle bus to protest against the party’s environmental record.
She unfurled a banner reading “clean power not Paddy Power”, in reference to the election date betting scandal, and stayed on the roof for 12 minutes.Speaking to reporters who had been travelling on the bus after climbing down, she said: “On climate and nature, the Conservatives are the worst out of all the parties and it’s so obvious…In a statement, she added: “We’ve had enough of this Government lurching from one scandal to the next while gambling with our future.
Greenpeace spokesman Paul Morozzo said the protest was “legitimate and important” when asked whether sending a young woman on to the roof of the campaign bus was the right way to make the point.“We’ve only been there for a few minutes. We’ve come down, we don’t want to mess with the companies who organised the event. We’re very respectful of that.
Mr Morozzo said there was “nothing untoward” in how campaigners worked out the location of the bus, adding: “We just triangulated from publicly available information, public websites.”
