Sir Keir Starmer held secret talks with a man bankrolling Just Stop Oil just days before revealing his plan to ban new oil and gas developments. The Sun has more.
Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, who has donated £1.5 million to the Labour party, said he spoke with Labour’s boss last week.
And Mr. Vince repeated his support for the eco-protest group, which is causing mayhem on the streets, saying: “People have to stand up and do something.”
He told the BBC he spoke to Sir Keir “on the phone”, but they did not discuss Just Stop Oil.
And he vowed never to ditch his support for the radical group, even if Sir Keir wanted him to.
He even offered to double the donation of anyone who gives money to Just Stop Oil in the next 48 hours.
Mr. Vince said there was nothing wrong with bankrolling both Just Stop Oil – which wants a ban on new oil and gas licences in the North Sea – and the Labour Party, which is set to formally adopt the policy.
Tory Chairman Greg Hands said: “The plot thickens on Just Stop Oil’s links to Labour, and to Sir Keir Starmer personally.
“Sir Keir must come clean over his secret meetings and whether he finally agreed to back them after huge cash donations.”
Mr. Vince insisted the row over his links with Just Stop Oil was a “fuss about nothing”.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
This is just plain old vested interested and rent seeking.. Less oil more dosh for Ecotricity I recoken.
For further reading, explore The Tullock Paradox.
What Greg Hands presumably forgot to mention is that his Government is bunging Ecotricity taxpayers dosh via various departmental grants.
So who’s daftest: Labour jumping to the tune of their big donors or the Tories funnelling public money to businesses that hate them?
Uniparty Labservatives! Why vote? You’ll get what you get, not what you want!
Just to thicken the plot further: the WEF look down favourably on Mr Vince and his football club.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/12/this-is-the-worlds-greenest-football-club-and-youve-probably-never-even-heard-of-it/
No suggestion that the most environmentally sustainable option is not to have any football merchandise and teams only play those within cycling distance, or just no football at all. The distracting show has to be retained it seems, and therefore justified to ensure some people expend their time and energy supporting an essentially pointless activity rather than putting the same energy into something opposing the WEF.
So Vince’s eco-business depends for its success on ‘stopping oil.’ so he bribes Starmer with 1.5 million quid if he, (Starmer) commits to stopping oil. Starmer, being easily bought accepts the deal. Pretty transparent and bent as hell!
That’s just how the system works: Effective modern electioneering is expensive. Because of this, parties need private donations to run a campaign with a chance of success. And hence, parties will – at the very least – feel very uninclined to adopt policies their donors dislike. See also How the red wall turned blue: Whenever Labour had suffered another electoral defeat since 2011, voices in the party rose who suggested that Labour should maybe refocus on issues more relevant to working class people. The outcome was always Nooo! Woke is the future, we must woke harder! Working class people will soon all die out and and then, the woking class, students and ex-pupils we’ve been indoctrinating since kindergarten, will take over!
Indeed and not surprising for a Trilateral man, https://www.trilateral.org/people/sir-keir-starmer/, the organisation set up by the Rockerfellers who pioneered monopolistic control of oil production.
It is the old cliche that if it walks and talks like a duck , it is a duck . Starmer is connected to Vince by Money . This is a situation that only looks normal in an Autocracy .
So it could be argued that Starmer has committed Treason to the majority of the populace by taking Eco money, forgoing Trillions in tax revenue from UK Hydrocarbon deposits and placing most of us into future energy poverty?
There is no longer a criminal act of Treason on the Statute. it was dismantled and downgraded in 1998 and repealed in 2008. Wonder who was the PM in 1998.?
It would be a terrible thing if he won be default but to be be realistic there is a choice between very bad and even worse. When people are suffering they think that anything would be an imporovement. Sadly not true. I would say that faith in the whole system is substantially diminished. It will only lead somewhere positive if you will it to do so. And every thought you have has an affect on the world around you. After WW2 we lost a g reat deal in terms of the science of the will because it became tied up with Nazi totalitarianism but there is a world to rediscover in this regard. It is very rarely that you hear mention of Gurdjieff in British society these days. His teaching still has so much to offer. It is as if we were all purged in 1945 and reduced to reductionist zombies. The will is an immensely deep and complex subject with a huge tradition behind it.
Can a woman have a cock – yes of course she can just like a man can have a vagina. It means nothing to me this dicussion except to see prats like him squirm when they are asked a simple question. Anyone who is that weak in spirit deserves to be treated like garbage.
This man will not attain power even under current circumstances. We need to make sure of that.
Please do everthing you can to keep this man out of power.
when is this man going to be brought to shame and removed from power?
We all get the governments we deserve. The next one is likely to be led by this beadie eyed parasite, so we must have desreved it.
IMHO this is, and always has been, about controlling production of oil to keep prices high and in US$ for the benefit of international energy and financial cartels. Nothing whatsoever to do with the environment.
