Climate protesters who disrupt sporting events should be “ashamed of their selfish behaviour”, the Prime Minister has said.

Rishi Sunak made the comments after activists disrupted the World Snooker Championship on Monday and the Grand National at the weekend.

He told The Sun: “People who disrupt decent, law-abiding people’s lives, trying to gratuitously ruin great sporting events that many have worked hard and saved to enjoy should be ashamed of their selfish behaviour.
