Just Stop Oil fly-post Exeter Labour HQ over refusal to distance from Tory oil licences
[Just Stop Oil]

JUST STOP OIL activists flyposted the headquarters of Exeter Labour Party today with printouts of a letter they sent to parliamentary candidate Steve Race last week.

The letter asked him to commit to leaving the Labour Party if, within six months of forming a government, it fails to revoke oil licences granted by the Tories since 2021. 

In his response, Mr Race refused to commit to the pledge, citing his commitment to the Labour Party manifesto.
