National papers missing from some newsagents after
protesters blockading Murdoch-owned print sites
The prime minister,
Boris Johnson, has accused Extinction Rebellion of seeking “to limit the public’s access to news” after the group blockaded two
UK printworks, delaying the distribution of major national newspapers.
The activists, who staged the action to highlight the failure by the media to “report on the climate and ecological emergency”, were also condemned by the home secretary, Priti Patel, for “attacking democracy”.
