Activists from Just Stop Oil broke into Stansted Airport and vandalized private jets shortly after Taylor Swift’s arrival.

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.

It was reported that two people had gained access to an area well away from the runway and the main passenger terminal, before causing damage to two aircraft.

Police were on the scene within minutes and detained the culprits, and the airport and flights are operating as normal.

A 22-year-old woman from Brighton and a 28-year-old woman from Dumbarton have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and interference with the use or operation of national infrastructure.
