Tory peer in dressing gown confronts Extinction Rebellion activists

A slipper-shod Lord Fraser emerges from his Westminster home to berate climate campaigners

A Tory peer has confronted Extinction Rebellion protesters in his dressing gown as they marched past his home in central London.

Andrew Fraser, who was made a life peer by David Cameron in 2016, emerged from his Westminster home on Lord North Street on Tuesday morning. He was pictured wearing a white dressing gown and slippers as he confronted protesters, who were were banging drums and waving banners as part of the second day of Extinction Rebellion's planned two-week shutdown of the heart of the capital. While the nature of the exchange between the peer and the protesters is unknown, one activist did try to hand him a flyer.
