Just Stop Oil protesters attempted to scale the gates of Downing Street on Tuesday morning - calling for stiffer windfall taxes for energy firms after BP announced a £7bn quarterly profit.
At 11:15am, 22 environmental activists “swarmed towards the gates” of Downing Street, home to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, with some trying to climb the gates and others blocking the entrance via Whitehall by sitting in the road.
Some activists glued their hands to the Tarmac.
Video circulated on social media showed police officers forcibly removing the protesters, dragging them away from the scene.
