       The Insulate Gorup plonked themselves in the middle of the highway during rush hour on the morning of September 13.

       A spokesperson said they were taking action to demand Boris Johnson create hundreds of thousands of jobs and save lives.

       Liam Norton, 36, an electrician from London said: “Since waking up to the crisis we are all in, due to the catastrophic breakdown in our climate, I have been shocked at the lack of significant action from our government.

       “They need to face up to reality. It will destroy our economy and the fabric of our society.

       “They are being incredibly reckless. They are betting the farm on technologies that don’t exist.

       ？”As soon as a statement is made that we can trust and is meaningful we will get off the roads.”
