ACTIVISTS with Just Stop Oil defied the Home Secretary today by taking action in west London after she announced new plans to crack down on protests by environmental groups.

Members of the climate campaign group blocked Park Lane in London at around 11am and covered an Aston Martin showroom opposite Hyde Park in orange spray paint.

The move came shortly after Suella Braverman unveiled plans that she said would give the police new powers to take a more “proactive” approach against some protests, including measures specifically aimed at tactics used by some environmental groups.
