Several junctions of the M25 were blocked by climate change protesters during the morning rush hour.

There were clashes with drivers as activists tried to sit in the road and block traffic.

A new group, Insulate Britain, is behind the stunt and say they did it to ‘demand that the government gets on with the job of insulating Britain’s homes.’

Protesters in orange high viz jackets took action at junctions three, six, 14, 20 and 31.

Video showed irate drivers trying to drag them out of the way before the police arrived.

Surrey Police said: ‘We’re currently overseeing a protest at J6 M25 reported just before 8am. No of protesters from Insulate Britain are at the location, slip road closed+diversion being set up. No arrests made at this stage. Pls avoid the area for the time being.’
