Green energy magnate to switch support from Just Stop Oil to Labour

Dale Vince says he will concentrate his efforts on getting Tories voted out of government at next election

• Dale Vince: I helped fund Just Stop Oil, but no more

Dale Vince, the green energy magnate, has said he is to stop funding direct action climate groups such as Just Stop Oil and instead funnel money towards getting the vote out for Labour at the next general election.

The Ecotricity founder, who has funded a string of disruptive environmental protest groups, has supported Just Stop Oil since its inception, and has previously said his funding for the group has totalled some hundreds of thousands".
