Extinction Rebellion protesters 'superglue' themselves to Speaker's Chair in Commons in extraordinary security breach

The campaign group posted a photo on Twitter showing 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”.

The group wrote: “Extinction Rebellion supporters have superglued around the Speaker’s chair inside the Commons chamber.

“Right now inside Parliament a speech is being read out demanding a Citizens’ assembly now: ‘We are in crisis. We can not afford to carry on like this’.”
