Rachel Reeves: Just Stop Oil’s ways are ‘pathetic’
T
he shadow chancellor mentioned she has “got no time” for Just Stop Oil, after latest protests.
The group has focused a collection of occasions over the previous couple of months together with the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, the World Snooker Championship, Wimbledon and Rugby’s Gallagher Premiership remaining.
Rachel Reeves instructed the Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme on Sky News: “I have got no time for Just Stop Oil. To be honest, I think it is a bit pathetic and quite tedious disrupting tennis, snooker, other people’s weddings.
“If they want to tackle climate change, engage in the policy answers, but they are not building support for their cause, they are doing the exact opposite.
“So it is counter-productive and it is rude frankly.
“People paid to go to Wimbledon, it may be the one time in their life that they get to Wimbledon, they don’t want to be disrupted by a load of protesters.”
On Saturday, George Osborne and his new spouse Thea Rogers have been coated in orange confetti.
Just Stop Oil, showing to assert duty for the protest on Saturday, tweeted: “You look good in orange @George_Osborne — congratulations to the newlyweds.”
Around 200 individuals, together with a string of well-known politicians and journalists, had attended the marriage of the previous chancellor of the Exchequer, 52, and his former aide, 40-year-old Thea Rogers on the 14th Century St Mary’s Church within the Somerset village of Bruton.
Just Stop Oil has been approached for remark concerning the incident.
