Just Stop Oil activists have targeted "multiple private jets" at London's Stansted Airport just hours after Taylor Swift's plane landed there in their second anti-fossil fuels protest in fewer than 24 hours.
At around 5am this morning, a pair of protesters from the group daubed two private aircraft with bright orange spray paint after appearing to cut their way through a chain-link fence with a circular saw to gain access to the tarmac.
In a statement from the group - which contains a number of Taylor Swift-related puns - the demonstrating duo, 22-year-old Cole Macdonald and 28-year-old Jennifer Kowalski, took aim at billionaires and private jets for "destroying the conditions necessary to support human life" on Earth.
The pair were swift to post footage and images from the incident online, which can be seen below.
