Climate activists sprayed orange paint over an Aston Martin showroom in central London on Sunday, as the Government promised new powers to police to stem a mounting wave of “direct action” protests.

Members of the Just Stop Oil group also staged a sit-in on Park Lane, where the sports car maker’s shop is located in an exclusive area of ??the British capital.

The action came after two Just Stop Oil activists hurled tomato soup at one of Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” paintings at London’s National Gallery on Friday.

Another spray paint protest by the same group targeted London’s Metropolitan Police headquarters on Friday, which arrested 28 protesters.

Then on Saturday, Animal Rebellion protesters poured milk on the shop floors and window displays of high-end retailers across the UK, including Harrods in London, demanding the end of global livestock farming.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she will introduce tougher laws this week to counter citizen protests by groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion.

Under the plan, the government could seek court injunctions to ban such protests early and make it easier for police to protect “essential” assets, services and infrastructure.

“I will not bow to the protesters trying to ransom the British public,” hardliner Braverman said in a statement.

“This serious and dangerous disruption, let alone vandalism, is neither freedom of expression nor a human right. She has to stop.”

But outside the Aston Martin showroom, pregnant mother Chloe Thomas, 19, said she was fighting to protect humanity’s next generations.

“In the years to come, how do I explain to my daughter where the animals have gone, where culture has gone, where beauty has gone, why there are no bees, and why I can’t put food in her belly?” she said.

Just Stop Oil has intensified its campaign since Prime Minister Liz Truss’ new government in Britain promised to allow new offshore fossil fuel drilling to stem a spike in energy prices sparked by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
