BREAKING: Protesters bring Westminster Bridge to standstill and block traffic.
Earlier this morning, Just Stop Oil called for people to ‘peacefully join thousands’ in ‘civil resistance’ on the bridge.
A spokesperson from the campaign group said: ‘We are currently witnessing the breakdown of all we hold dear.‘If the government won’t stop approving new oil and gas projects then we will make them stop.’The Met, which has officers on the scene, has been contacted by Metro.co.uk for comment. Groups from across London had been due to converge on Westminster this afternoon, passing through various corners of the city to spread their message.Others spoken to by reporters were protesting against the Government’s mini-budget.
A protester called George, held a sign which criticised the Conservatives’ lack of ‘fiscal budget responsibility’ along with their record on fossil fuels. ‘I think no government can run if it’s spending more, like vastly more, than it’s bringing in,’ he said.
