An offshoot group of Just Stop Oil sprayed red paint on the Labour Party’s head office in central London on Monday in protest against the war in Gaza.
Youth Demand sent five activists to target the exterior and lobby of the building in Southwark shortly before 3pm.
“Labour has blood on their hands,” Youth Demand said. “They are complicit in the murder of Palestinians, and millions of people around the world, as they continue to drive genocide.”
The group called on others to join protests against the war in Gaza and new oil and gas development.
One participant, Chris Faulkner, 21, an earth sciences student from Oxford, accused Sir Keir Starmer of allowing “mass murder” in Gaza.
“Young people will not stand by and watch Keir Starmer allow mass murder by selling weapons to Israel and allowing the development of new oil and gas,” he said.
“Over 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza and the breakdown of our climate will kill hundreds of millions more in the coming decades.”
