“With the IPCC report just coming out, a lot of people have been reignited with the urgency of taking action on the climate and ecological emergency.
“We are again running groups all over the country and people are being encouraged to come down to London. When they are here they are all involved with different kinds of protests.”

Money Rebellion said the “ironic award” was “presented to those who are making an outstandingly awful contribution to climate change”.
Other activists gathered at the Brazilian embassy to show solidarity with indigenous people in the Amazon Rainforest, while women assembled in Piccadilly Circus to talk about the environmental crisis.
The demonstrations continue next week, when the activists will protest against the links between “big finance, fossil fuels and the fossil of politics that is Westminster”.
At least 10,000 people have gathered at the protests and 118 arrests have been made for a variety of offences during the demonstrations.
