A Brexit protest which would see drivers 'go slow' on the M1 for two junctions has been put at risk by a chemical spillage.

Drivers were expected to meet at the IKEA on Giltbrook retail park, near junction 26 of the M1, at 6pm, and were hoping to drive slow up to junction 28, and back, at 30 miles per hour.

However, firefighters are currently combating a chemical spillage near junction 26 which could put the protest at risk.
