At 6.30am, activists were joined by people from Animal Rebellion who climbed onto the overhead gantries of the M25 in multiple locations and in both directions, causing police to halt traffic 🚨
The group is demanding that the government halts all new oil and gas licences.

In a live broadcast earlier this morning, a Just Stop Oil activist who claimed to have positioned herself on a gantry between Junctions 8 and 9 over the M25 spoke on camera to social media 🗣️

Essex Police released a statement after they arrested a 24-year-old woman who police spotted "attempting to climb onto an overhead gantry" on the M25 just before 7am today 👇

People could be seen exiting their cars and walking along the motorway to the front of the queue to see what is going on 🚶

A Just Stop Oil protester blocking the M25 has said she is "terrified" in a video message.

💬 "The motorway is empty behind me, and I'm terrified. But I know that the consequences of doing nothing are far greater than whatever I face today.”
