They sprayed the walkway with gallons of fake milk.

One said: “Liz Truss must act on dairy farming.

“Climate change, which dairy farming worsens, is the biggest problem of our time.”

Andrew Howard, 63, a retired firefighter who travelled to Westminster from Sheffield, said: "Today's action is a direct challenge to Prime Minister Liz Truss.

"We are calling on her to make the drastic changes that we know need to happen in order to combat the cost of living, climate and ecological crises we are facing."

The group staged similar protests throughout London earlier this month.
