the Labour Party to turn the eco-group&#8217;s demands into legislation.<\/p>\n<p>A leaked document, seen by The Daily Mail, reveals that activists will stand in local elections or general elections &#8216;to put pressure on Labour&#8217; to fulfil its pledge to halt new licences for North Sea oil and gas drilling.<\/p>\n<p>The group, whose financial backer Dale Vince has also donated more than \u00a31 million to Labour, said it aimed &#8216;to make our campaign synonymous with this policy&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The document adds: &#8216;It is essential that we continue to push on our demand, to hold them [Labour] to their word, and to see the Just Stop Oil demand become legislation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The radical protest group will also &#8216;push for further popular climate specific legislation in the run up to elections&#8217;, the strategy documents reveal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Labour needs to stop taking orders from professional protestors and start listening to the public.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Conservative MP Paul Bristol said: &#8216;It is clear that Just Stop Oil have targeted the Labour Party as the vehicle for their demands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Not just content with funding Labour, they now want to write their election manifesto.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If people reject the actions of Just Stop Oil and their demands, they must also reject Labour who are becoming their political wing.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has previously described Just Stop Oil&#8217;s plans as &#8216;contemptible&#8217; and labelled their protesters &#8216;arrogant&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

&#8216;just stop&#8217; and criticised it for &#8216;interrupting iconic sporting events [and] causing massive disruption.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But Labour has benefited from almost \u00a31.4million over several years from Mr Vince, a green entrepeneur who is one of Just Stop Oil&#8217;s biggest donors.<\/p>\n<p>His firm Ecotricity also gave \u00a310,000 to deputy leader Angela Rayner and \u00a320,000 to Sir Keir Starmer, Electoral Commission data shows.<\/p>\n<p>And Just Stop Oil activists have boasted that their disruptive tactics, which have inflicted misery on the public, had &#8216;shifted&#8217; Labour&#8217;s climate policy.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Larch Maxey, from the group, said the party&#8217;s announcement that it would veto new North Sea oil and gas projects would empower the protesters to &#8216;escalate&#8217; their campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for Just Stop Oil said: &#8216;Just Stop Oil supporters have a legal right, the right of necessity to protect themselves from the very real threat of an unliveable world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We should not stand by as a criminal political regime tips us more and more into insecurity and a cost of living
