Protesters have caused traffic chaos on the M25 for the fourth time in a week as police responding to tackle their demonstration got delayed in the backlog.

Activists from Insulate Britain blocked junction 18 of Britain’s busiest motorway on Monday morning.

Drivers clashed with protesters, urging them to demonstrate in Downing Street instead if impacting people trying to get to work.

The protesters, who have been regularly flanked by the police in previous protests, were alone for the beginning of their action in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, because officers were caught in the traffic jams.
