Protesters strip off in House of Commons during Brexit debate
A group of protesters have been arrested after stripping off in the Houses of Commons as MPs debated Brexit.
Direct action group Extinction Rebellion said semi-naked activists had glued their hands to the Commons' public gallery to "call attention to the 'elephant in the room' - climate and ecological crisis."
"We are walking dangerously close to irreversible climate collapse - this is what it has come to," the group said.
MP James Heappey shared an image of the protesters from the floor of the Commons with the caption: "Parliament just got a little bit more nuts!"
