M25 travel latest – Extinction Rebellion activists have blocked off part of the motorway bringing cars to a standstill

ACTIVISTS who are from Extinction Rebellion have sparked chaos on the M25 after setting up a blockade.

Protesters plonked themselves on the motorway preventing traffic from moving, however many are now understood to have been arrested.

They also targeted drivers heading to the 117-mile road at Junctions 3, 6, 14, 20 and 31 – bringing commuters to a standstill.

Some 20 sat on a road in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, holding banners with ‘Insulate Britain’ on in bold white letters.

There is now a heavy police presence to get traffic moving again.
