"We arrested four people in the Prime Minister's residence this afternoon. Our officers were on the scene within a minute of the four entering the premises," a statement from local police said.

Campaign group Youth Demand posted a video on X of a man going into the lake on the grounds of the British Prime Minister's house and going to the toilet, in a protest against Mr Sunak's government.

The group called on the UK to stop issuing new oil and gas licences and also called for a two-way arms embargo on Israel.

This is a youth advocacy group focused on environmental and human rights issues. The group has organised numerous protests to pressure the UK government to change its policies on climate change and human rights.

The incident comes amid rising tensions over climate change, as activist groups increasingly resort to more drastic measures to gain public and government attention.

Oil and gas licensing is a highly controversial topic in the UK, particularly in the context of international commitments to reduce emissions and protect the environment.

The arms embargo on Israel is also a sensitive and controversial issue, linked to the conflict situation in the Middle East and the foreign policies of Western countries.
