A topless Extinction Rebellion protester has said she will go on hunger strike until Boris Johnson addresses the group's demands on climate change. 

Laura Amherst, 31, filmed herself demanding action from the Prime Minister, telling him that she does not believe the government is doing enough to stop the 'climate emergency'.

The mum-of-one from Brighton said that she felt it was important to do more for her child's future, and that she was even 'prepared to die' for the cause.

Taking the appeal a step further, Laura declared she wouldn't eat anything more until the government acts on a letter she had sent to Downing Street.
