Here Just Stop Oil Come A Carolling: Santa hat-wearing eco-clowns protest outside Keir Starmer’s London home as they stage Xmas themed stunt before mob’s dispersed by police

• Nine activists gathered outside Sir Keir Starmer’s house at 8.30pm last night 

Just Stop Oil activists wore Santa hats to protest outside Keir Starmer’s London home last night before they were dispersed by police. 

A group of nine eco-zealots sang ‘climate-criminal’ Christmas carols as they demanded that Sir Keir commits to cancelling all new oil and gas licences if he becomes the next Prime Minister. 

The supporters could be seen holding signs saying ‘Revoke Rosebank’ and ‘Arrest the real criminals’ as they performed reworded versions of traditional Christmas carols. 

Officers ordered the protesters to disperse and told them to leave the area for three months or they would be arrested.

One of those serenading Starmer this evening, 25-year-old Rory, of London, said: ‘Beyond the culture wars and political point scoring, our world is at a crisis point. Our homes and our families are under threat. 

‘Our political system is failing us. At a time where bold leadership is required to deal with the multiple crises we face, Labour are promising more of the same.

‘Failing to revoke new oil licences would be tantamount to ”rubber-stamping” the last ditch, ”slash and burn” actions of the current Tory leadership, who are hell-bent on enriching themselves and those they serve in the oil and gas lobby. This complicity is nothing short of a crime against humanity.’

Another protester, 50-year-old Rosie, said: ‘Starmer knows he needs to do the right thing for his children, and that is to cancel all new oil and gas licences if he gets to number 10. 

‘He is a former human rights lawyer, he should know the difference between right and wrong.

‘History will not be kind to those who knew how bad the situation was with the climate, but allowed the extremists in the Tory party and oil lobby to destroy everything for their own selfish enrichment- killing millions in the process. 

‘The Tories have no mandate to issue these licences, and as PM, Starmer’s obligation is to serve the public who want action on the climate crisis now.’

According to the group, there have been 670 arrests of Just Stop Oil supporters since October 30, and there are currently three Just Stop Oil supporters in prison.

It comes after Just Stop Oil staged a disruptive protest outside Rishi Sunak’s £6.6million home in Kensington last month. 

The eco group were seen holding banners and placards that slammed new oil and gas licencing and crashed pots and pans together while singing with a microphone as residents tried to sleep.

Just Stop Oil took to social media to claim 14 protesters were arrested by police outside the Prime Minister’s house during the stunt.

Officers have since confirmed 16 protesters were arrested and taken to a number of central London police stations. 

The group wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ’18 Just Stop Oil supporters are outside Rishi Sunak’s house in Kensington, enjoying a performance of ”We Tried” by @louisehmusic.

‘They made themselves heard by beating pots and pans and carrying placards reading ”COP Failure=Crop Failure”, ”No Rest For The Wicked”, ”Arrest the Real Criminals” ”Charge Him With Genocide”.’

It comes after Greenpeace protesters managed to climb on Mr Sunak’s home and drape it in black fabric while he was away on a family holiday in August. 

Footage shared by the group last night shows one of its members, Louise Harris, belting out her original song ‘We Tried’ into a microphone before a police car approaches the scene.
