Several junctions of the M25 were partly blocked by environmental protesters yesterday, demanding government action on home insulation.

Police made over forty arrests of activists from ‘Insulate Britain’ who were sitting on the road holding banners.

People started to vent their frustrations on Twitter such as Clive Farnham from Crawley who tweeted that they should, “have a protest on the side of the road” and “allow others to go about their business”.

National Highways says there was disruption at turnoffs including Heathrow Airport, Swanley in Kent and the Godstone interchange.
