Extinction Rebellion continues uprising despite mass arrests
Police carry away an XR protester from Oxford Street in central London today

POLICE arrested more than 300 Extinction Rebellion protesters in London today while demonstrations continued in their “uprising” against the government’s inaction over climate change.

Three protesters glued themselves to a Docklands Light Railway train, causing minor delays at Canary Wharf station.

Extinction Rebellion warned the day before that they would “non-violently disrupt Tube services” if no government minister met a representative of the group.
