Climate change protesters have broken into the British Parliament and glued themselves to the speaker’s chair in the House of Commons, the latest in a series of stunts by activists.
The five protesters are from the group Extinction Rebellion and are demanding action on climate change. Two of the protesters held signs, with one saying, “Let the people decide,” and the other sign saying, “Citizens assembly now.”

Earlier this year, climate change protesters glued themselves to famous works of art to halt oil production and highlight the global food crisis caused by extreme temperatures.

“We are in crisis, and what goes on in this room every single day makes a joke out of all of us. We cannot afford to go on like this,” the protester said. “We need a new way of making decisions where more voices are heard, not just those at the top. We need the true diversity of this country to be represented. We need a citizens assembly now.”
The British Parliament is on its summer recess until Monday, according to Sky News.
