Activists block Westminster Bridge ahead of Budget

Disabled activists block roads around Parliament

Westminster bridge was blocked this morning by groups protesting George Osborne’s budget.

A 20m banner was also dropped nearby, which reads “Balls2theBudget”.

It is understood that many of the protestors are disabled activists angry at cuts to the welfare budget.

Some are reportedly throwing inflatable balls at Downing Street.

Here are some of the images being published on Twitter:
