The campaign group said around fifty of its supporters “took non-violent action” demanding a citizens’ assembly to discuss the climate crisis. Five protesters were pictured in the House of Commons, with some holding signs reading “let the people decide” and “Citizens’ Assembly now”. They appear to have entered the building after booking an official tour, before leaving the group to hold the protest. Two protesters were also spotted with padlocks around their necks and tied to the front gates of the Parliament buildings. Banners have also been dropped throughout the building of the Palace of Westminster. In a tweet, Extinction Rebellion said: “The protest highlights the need for a citizens’ assembly to curb corruption at Westminster, inform policy and let the people decide.”

Police, fire and ambulance vehicles arrived at the scene shortly after 12 noon. A police helicopter was also seen flying over parliament. Parliament is currently in its summer recess until Monday, when it will be confirmed whether Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak won the Tory leadership race. A speech read by campaigners in the room said: “We are in crisis. And what happens in this room every day makes a joke of us all. We cannot afford to go on like this.” A House of Commons spokesman said: “We are aware of an incident on the Parliamentary Estate and are currently dealing with the situation as a matter of urgency.”
