A day after Insulate Britain glued themselves to the road for the ninth time (and one of their leading activists admitted he’d have no issue with blocking an ambulance from delivering a dying patient to hospital), the Prime Minister has waded in to give the eco-terrorists a piece of his mind.

The sooner those powers are properly enforced, the better…
