Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion have superglued themselves around the Speaker’s chair in the House of Commons chamber in London.
The group said around 50 activists were involved in the “non-violent” action at the Palace of Westminster.
A photo posted on the group’s Twitter account shows three members hand-in-hand in front of the seat while two other members held up signs. One read “Let the people decide” and the other noted “Citizens’ assembly now.”
Two of its members also used bike locks to chain themselves to the railings of the New Palace Yard entrance gates.
Both the House of Commons and the House of Lords are currently in recess, and lawmakers will not return to the Palace of Westminster until next Monday….
