Climate activists glue themselves to Speaker’s chair in the House of Commons
Members of Extinction Rebellion call for a ‘citizens’ assembly’ to give ordinary people the power to make decisions on the climate crisis
CLIMATE activists super glued themselves together around the Speaker’s chair in the House of Commons today to demand action on the climate emergency and cost-of-living crisis.
Members of Extinction Rebellion staged the protest inside the chamber in support of calls for a “citizens’ assembly” to give ordinary people the power to make decisions “that can get us out of this mess.”
The group said three activists had entered the building with an official tour in the morning, before glueing themselves into a chain around the green leather chair used by the Commons Speaker.
