		</div><p>Environmental protesters have vowed the disruption in London will continue for weeks as activists glued themselves to a train and Jeremy Corbyn’s garden fence.</p>
<p>The Labour leader’s home in north London became the latest target on the third day of climate change demonstrations across the capital.</p>
<p>Two men and two women from the Extinction Rebellion (XR) group used glue and a bike lock in a bid to prevent police from removing them from outside the house on Wednesday.</p>
<p>They said they all support Mr Corbyn but want the Labour Party to go further than declaring a “climate emergency”.</p>
<p>As they left, one protester, Tracee Williams, 55, said: <em>“We just really felt we had to bring it to his front door.”</em></p>
<p>More than 300 people have been arrested so far during the ongoing protests in Parliament Square, Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Circus and Marble Arch this week.</p>
<p>Scotland Yard could not confirm whether or not anyone had been charged with any criminal offences.</p>
<p>Campaigners said the cells in the capital are full and “operating on a one-in, one-out capacity”, while some of those being released from custody have rejoined the protests.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police said: <em>“Our custody suites are not full and we are continuing to arrest those who are breaking the law.”</em></p>
<p>The force added those continuing to demonstrate in areas where a restriction is in place face prosecution.</p>
<p>Activists said they plan to continue their roadblocks, which have affected more than half a million people with road closures, traffic gridlock and disruption to transport and businesses since Monday, until at least next Friday.</p>
<p>Spokeswoman Jayne Forbes told the Press Association: <em>“We would obviously look to go on for two weeks and if we can go on longer then even better.</em></p>
<p><em>“It depends on the rebels.”</em></p>
<p><em>“We have got quite a lot of people committed to do it for the whole two weeks.”</em></p>
<p>Robin Boardman-Pattison, 21, who earlier walked off during an interview with Sky News, said activists are planning to step up action on the rail and London Underground network.</p>
<p><em>“We will be escalating our disruption throughout the week,”</em> he told PA.</p>
<p><em>“The impact to the Tube system will grow.”</em></p>
<p>The British Transport Police (BTP) arrested two men and a woman on suspicion of obstructing the railway after activists clambered aboard the carriage of a train at Canary Wharf station on Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>A smartly dressed man and woman glued their hands to the roof before being removed and taken away in a police van.</p>
<p>XR, who are demanding a meeting with the Government, says direct action is needed to force authorities to act urgently on climate change and wildlife declines and halt a “sixth mass extinction”.</p>
<p>TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham joined protesters at Oxford Circus, saying: <em>“I believe the world’s leaders are not acting urgently enough to avert a climate catastrophe.</em></p>
<p><em>“As long as it is peaceful and democratic then they can count on my support.”</em></p>
<p>A YouGov poll of 3561 UK adults suggested public opinion has swung against the protests, while some Londoners hit out at the group’s “seriously flawed” methods.</p>
<p>The survey results show 52% either “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose” the action, compared to 36% who “strongly support” or “somewhat support” it.</p>
<p>Music student Anouska Stahlmann, 20, said her ill mother and elderly grandparents had to walk part of their journey because of the risk of getting stuck in a tunnel while on the Tube.</p>
<p><em>“I have no issue with wanting to better the environment and we’re fairly conscious of it as a family,”</em> she said.</p>
<p><em>“Their methods, however, are seriously flawed and are not inclusive of people who want to support the cause.</em></p>
<p><em>“I find it awful they’re disintegrating into a rent-a-mob mentality really.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’d expect better.”</em></p>
