Extinction Rebellion protestors have ‘occupied parliament’ after a group of nine demonstrators staged a sit-down protest in the middle of the Palace of Westminster’s central lobby, unfurling a banner which read: “”G7 pay your climate debt”.
Extinction Rebellion, often shortened to XR, have staged a number of high profile and disruptive protests across London in the past few years, including blocking Tower Bridge and key roads in the centre of the city in a bid to make lawmakers take more drastic action to address global warming and avert a climate crisis.
In a tweet by the protest group the protest was explained as a demonstration of support for the ‘Climate Debt’ campaign.
