Just Stop Oil protestors threw tomato soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting.

Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were sentenced to between 20 months and two years in prison for their roles in organising a protest that blocked parts of the M25 for several days in 2022 .

Two thirds of Britons ( 65% ) think these sentences were either about right or should have been longer.

Just 26% think it would be acceptable in principle for climate protestors to disrupt the burning of fossil fuels at a fossil fuel power plant.
