Just Stop Oil supporters have covered a waxwork model of King Charles in chocolate cake.

They went to Madame Tussauds this morning and covered the King's model in cake - demanding that the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents.

Eilidh McFadden, 20, from Glasgow, and Tom Johnson, 29, a painter/decorator from Sunderland, said: “The science is clear. The demand is simple: just stop new oil and gas. It’s a piece of cake.”

 

Just Stop Oil tweeted: "🎂 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL CAKES THE KING 🎂 👑

"Two supporters of Just Stop Oil have covered a Madame Tussauds waxwork model of King Charles III with chocolate cake, demanding that the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents.

"The action takes place a few weeks ahead of COP 27 which King Charles III has reportedly abandoned plans to attend and deliver a speech at, on the advice of the then, now former Prime Minister Liz Truss."
