'I threw it straight in the bin!': Pensioner wrongly targeted by 'incompetent' ... trends now
An accountant whose home 'incompetent' Just Stop Oil activists targeted in the mistaken belief it was the shadow health secretary's has said he is glad they wasted a trip.
Ricky Law, 70, was caught up in a bungled JSO stunt when activists filmed themselves delivering a letter to his property in Enfield, London, believing it belonged to Wes Streeting.
JSO poster girl Phoebe Plummer, 22, best known for throwing soup over Van Gogh's Sunflowers, was filmed gloating outside the property before posting a letter addressed to Mr Streeting through the letterbox.
The video was posted on X with the caption: 'Metropolitan Police you're losing your touch. Phoebe broke bail today delivering a letter to Wes Streeting, despite being arrested twice for delivering letters before. What's going on?'
Mr Streeting, who does not even live in the same borough, wrote on X within minutes of the video being posted: 'That isn't my house'.

It is the latest in a string of attempted stunts by JSO targeting MPs' home addresses.
Mr Law, who rents out the property on AirBnb as well as using it as his office, said he was 'glad they wasted a journey' and that JSO had 'made a mockery of themselves'.
After realising their mistake, JSO said it had asked the property owner to forward the letter on to the Labour MP.
But Mr Law said he only read two lines of the letter intended for Mr Streeting before 'throwing it straight into the bin'.
Mr Law said: 'They are incompetent and have no idea what they're doing. The cause they are devoted to is good, but I don't agree with the way they do
