Insulate Britain protesters arrived in Greater Manchester for the first time this morning when they blocked a major road near Manchester Airport

in a series of demonstrations across the country around a dozen people joined the protest on Wilmslow Road on Junction 6 of the M56, with some gluing their hands to the road.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said 11 people had been arrested on suspicion of causing danger to road-users.

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham criticised the protest tweeting

“I can’t see how this type of protest does anything other than alienate people from the climate cause”

There have also been demonstrations in London and Birmingham
