Just Stop Oil protesters spray Aston Martin showroom in London’s Park Lane with orange paint

Demonstrators from the Just Stop Oil environmental group also glued themselves to the road in Park Lane on Sunday. The latest protest comes after two women threw tomato soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers masterpiece – estimated to be worth £72.5 million – at the National Gallery.

Just Stop Oil campaigners have blocked London’s Park Lane and spray-painted the front of a luxury car showroom in their latest protest.

Demonstrators from the environmental group, who are calling for the government to halt all new oil and gas licenses, glued themselves to the road in central London at around 11am on Sunday.

One was then filmed spraying the front of Aston Martin’s showroom with bright orange paint.

It comes after Home Secretary Suella Braverman outlined plans to crack down on such protests as part of the Public Order Bill.

Braverman, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Nadhim Zahawi met this morning to apply for a new injunction against Just Stop Oil causing disruption on London’s roads.

Under the home secretary’s plans, a new criminal offense would be created for disrupting the functioning of key infrastructures such as airports, railways and oil refineries.
