More than 60 activists from the climate group are held on suspicion of public order offences in Parliament Square, with one saying that their demands were 'no new licences for fossil fuels'.
Police have arrested more than 60 protesters after Just Stop Oil carried out a demonstration next to parliament in Westminster. After marching through Central London, members of the activist group sat and laid down on the ground in Parliament Square. Activist Victoria Lindsell, 68, said: 'We will stop the moment Rishi Sunak listens to our demands, which are 'no new licences for fossil fuels'.
Campaigner Matt Cunningham, 26, said he was taking part because the government had 'blatantly ignored its own climate advisers'. Mr Cunningham, from Suffolk, added: 'I have a five-month-old nephew and I can't face the thought that his future is destroyed by people who don't care and just want profit.
