Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022

Climate activists have thrown tomato soup over two Sunflowers paintings by Vincent van Gogh, just an hour after two others were jailed for a similar protest action in 2022.

Three supporters of Just Stop Oil walked into the National Gallery in London, where an exhibition of Van Gogh’s collected works is on display, at 2.30pm on Friday afternoon, and threw Heinz soup over Sunflowers 1889 and Sunflowers 1888.

The latter was the same work targeted by Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland in 2022. That pair are now among 25 supporters of Just Stop Oil in jail for climate protests.

    Did you miss your calling at the local cinema? Your projection is unrivalled.

    Explanation of the strawman you’ve dreamed up? Not so much.

        Yeah - that cinches it - I’m not big on ableism, so I’m going to wish you the very best of luck with whatever’s going on between those ears of yours, and leave you to it, champ.
