Earlier this year, we wrote to the PM after he claimed Just Stop Oil “bankroll” Labour. We’ve found no evidence to support this claim, yet it’s continued to circulate. Labour has received around £1.5 million from a Just Stop Oil donor, however.
Of course, the Electoral Commission records don’t rule out that Just Stop Oil may have donated to the Labour party in amounts low enough not to be declared. But the group itself has confirmed to Full Fact that it has never given money to the Labour party, whileRecords from the Electoral Commission show a total ofto the Labour Party, individual MPs and party members from Ecotricity—the energy company founded by Mr Vince— totalling just under £1.
The majority of donations were made directly to the party’s head office but individual donations include £20,000 to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, £10,000 to deputy leader Angela Rayner and £20,000 to the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, when he was an MP.
However Mr Hands’ claim has been challenged by Mr Vince and Just Stop Oil, who both told Full Fact that he was not a founder of the group. Just Stop Oil said its campaign originated in large part from another environmental campaign group called and collaboration with campaigners from other groups such as Extinction Rebellion, Animal Rebellion and Stop HS2. It said Mr Vince was not involved in this process.
