Members of Just Stop Oil have been carrying out daily action throughout October as part of a campaign against the use of fossil fuels.

As well as blocking roads, members of the group have also carried out stunts intended to generate publicity and bring attention to their demands.

Two women are due in court charged with criminal damage following an incident at the National Gallery on Friday in which tomato soup was thrown at Vincent Van Gogh’s world famous Sunflowers painting.

Another Just Stop Oil activist has also been charged after paint was thrown at the famous revolving sign outside Scotland Yard.

The group have vowed to continue with the campaign until the Government agrees to halt all new oil and gas licenses.

A spokesman for the group said: “Yesterday Just Stop Oil supporters threw soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers on display in the National Gallery and paint over the Metropolitan Police’s iconic New Scotland Yard sign.

“We accept that both these actions have upset and provoked many people, as will the disruption caused by today’s road block.

“But our art, culture and the rule of law is threatened. Our heritage, rights and freedoms are being destroyed by our government’s lies and the failure of politics, and right now millions of people are facing this brutal impact of climate change.

“Yet our government is seeking to expand fossil fuel production.”
