Two Just Stop Oil protesters in their 80s have broken the glass around the Magna Carta at the British Library.

Reverend Dr Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, an 85-year-old retired biology teacher, caused a commotion at the library after smashing the glass enclosure around the historic document.

The demonstrators then glued their hands together and demanded an emergency plan to stop oil by 2030.

Standing by the Magna Carta, the pair also held a sign which read “the government is breaking the law”, and could be heard saying: “Is the government above the law?”
