Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
SIR Keir Starmer held secret talks with Just Stop Oil's bankroller days before revealing his plan to bin new oil and gas licences.
Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, who has donated £1.5million to the Labour party, said he spoke with
Labour's boss last week.
And Mr Vince repeated his support for
the eco-protest group, which is causing mayhem on the streets, saying: "People have to stand up and do something."
He told the
BBC he spoke to Sir Keir "on the phone", but they did not discuss
Just Stop Oil.
And he vowed never to ditch his support for the radical group, even if Sir Keir wanted him to.
He even offered to double the donation of anyone who gives money to Just Stop Oil in the next 48 hours.

Chairman Greg Hands said: "The plot thickens on Just Stop Oil's links to Labour, and to Sir Keir Starmer personally.
"Sir Keir must come clean over his secret meetings and whether he finally agreed to back them after huge cash donations."
Mr Vince insisted the row over his links with Just Stop Oil was a "fuss about nothing".
He told the BBC: "I'm not dodgy. It's all tax-paid. I am completely transparent."
The Met Police has spent £3.5million on
dealing with Just Stop Oil protests in the past month.
Comment: It's probably no surprise that the establishment are angling to push sister Starmer into power.
As for Just Stop Oil, they seem to be serving a number of agendas, including championing the deadly deindustrialisation 'green' agenda, as well as providing high profile activist campaigns that infuriate the general public, which the authorities then use as justification for their crackdown on the right to protest:
UK gov't to tighten anti-protest restrictions, despite criticism from human rights groups
More on Just Stop Oil's 'green' donors:
A Big Oil heiress is a key funder of a sprawling global network of grassroots climate groups, including the U.K.-based Just Stop Oil, which staged a protest Friday vandalizing a famous painting.
Aileen Getty, the granddaughter of the Getty Oil founder, is the founding donor of the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), a Los Angeles-based organization that finances several high-profile climate protest groups around the world. Getty, who is a prolific environmental philanthropist, wired $500,000 to CEF shortly after it was founded in 2019, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Boosted by Getty's initial and continued contributions, CEF has awarded millions of dollars to radical groups that have engaged in disruptive protests worldwide. Among CEF's grantees is the A22 Network, which is made up of Just Stop Oil, the U.S.-based Declare Emergency and groups in nine countries including Germany, France and Canada.
