Climate protesters have caused disruption on the UK’s busiest motorway despite a major police operation to foil their plans, just as the COP27 climate summit gets under way in Egypt.

Climate group Just Stop Oil, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, said “action has gone ahead in multiple locations on the M25” during morning rush hour on Monday.
