Semi-naked climate protesters disrupt Brexit debate
Semi-naked climate change protesters interrupted a Commons debate on Brexit tonight as they stripped off in the public gallery. Several of the 'Extinction Rebellion' group glued themselves to the window dividing MPs from the watching public in the biggest Commons security breach since 2014. Labour MP Peter Kyle joked about the 'naked truth' as MPs' attention was distracted from his speech by the demonstration. Tory MP James Heappey defied Commons rules to photograph the dozen people, who had slogans including 'climate justice act now' and 'eco collapse' daubed on their backs. Speaker John Bercow told MPs to ignore the demonstration and continue with the debate as they stood in a line with their backsides pressed against the security glass. Most were wearing only thong-style underwear which left little to the imagination. Shocked MPs including former Labour leader Ed Miliband glanced up at the group as they stripped off behind the glass screen that separate the chamber from the public gallery. Some of the protesters were singing Nelly the Elephant while under the gaze of Parliamentarians. |
