RYEDALE MP Kevin Hollinrake is a “lone cheerleader” for fracking, campaign group Frack Free United claimed.

The group was speaking after fracking tsar Natasha Engel resigned.

The group claims many conservatives have signed its Frack Free Pledge to oppose fracking and welcomed the resignation.

A spokesman said: “Kevin Hollinrake is now a lone cheer-leader for fracking.”

Members of the campaign group took part in anti-fracking demonstrations at Kirby Misperton in his constituency.
