Just Stop Oil protesters have sprayed paint over a luxury car showroom and blocked Park Lane in central London. The campaigners, who are calling for the Government to halt all new oil and gas licences and consents, set up the roadblock from 11am on Sunday.
Demonstrators sat down in the road, holding large orange banners, with a number gluing themselves to the tarmac or locking themselves together. One protester then sprayed orange paint over the nearby Aston Martin showroom in Park Lane.
It came on the same day Home Secretary Suella Braverman unveiled plans to crack down on the kind of protest favoured by climate activists. Just Stop Oil tweeted that the action was to “defy” the Cabinet minister.
