Eco-protesters have blocked service stations on the M25 this morning in a bid to force the government to act now on fossil fuels.
At least 32 activists from Just Stop Oil have blocked Clacket Lane, Cobham and Thurrock services, and also claim to have disrupted petrol and diesel supplies from local depots since yesterday.
The depots affected include Navigator, Grays and Kingsbury.

The group has blocked the entrance to fuel stations at the service stations, starting from 5am this morning, spreading banners reading: Just Stop Oil.
In a statement on the group’s website, Adam 53, from Gloucestershire explained why he had chosen to disrupt fuel supplies today.
He said: ‘In 20 years time, when my grandchildren point out that we knew about the destruction and suffering that the climate crisis would bring, I don’t want to have to tell them that I just sat at home and worried about it. I want to be able to tell them I did what I could.
