Do you trust Just Stop Oil to end their campaign of direct action? Have your say in the comments below

Environmental campaign group Just Stop Oil has announced it will end its direct action protests, including throwing soup on paintings and slow marching in the streets.

The group claims its initial demand to end new oil and gas "is now Government policy", declaring itself "one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history".


In a statement, the group announced it will hold a final protest in Parliament Square on 26 April.

"It is the end of soup on Van Goghs, cornstarch on Stonehenge and slow marching in the streets," the group said.

However, they noted it is "not the end of trials, of tagging and surveillance, of fines, probation and years in prison".

Just Stop Oil claims to have kept "over 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground" and noted that "the courts have ruled new oil and gas licences unlawful".

The group indicated it is developing a new approach, stating: "We are creating a new strategy, to face this reality and to carry our responsibilities at this time.

"Nothing short of a revolution is going to protect us from the coming storms."

This poll is now closed. See the full results below and continue to have your say in the comments.

In the exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (98 per cent) of the 1,062 voters said they do not trust JSO to end their campaign of action, while just two per cent said they do.
