GB News: Eco-warrior and Labour mega-donor 'lived life of excessive consumerism' with 'private jets and petrol cars'
Dale Vince, a supporter of Just Stop Oil and Labour donor, faces scrutiny over his lifestyle during divorce proceedings. His ex-wife, Kate Vince, claims he lived in "excessive consumerism," flying private jets and owning luxury cars, contradicting his eco-warrior image.
The couple's wealth division is contentious, with Kate seeking half of their assets, including Vince's green energy firm, Ecotricity. Dale's lawyer argues that his occasional indulgences do not reflect a lavish lifestyle. The court hearing continues later this month.
