Keir Starmer's home was targeted by Just Stop Oil protesters last night, singing reworded carols to criticise his position on the Rosebank oilfield in the North Sea.
They arrived outside his home at 8.30pm last night, demanding the Labour leader to commit to ending all new oil and gas licenses in the UK.
Police attended the scene, ordering the protesters to disperse. But no arrests were made, the Metropolitan Police said.
The protesters delivered a letter outlining his demands, as well as holding placards. One read: "Revoke Rosebank", while another said: "Arrest the real criminals".
The Labour Party has said it is opposed to the Rosebank oilfield but in September confirmed the party would not reverse the decision to grant a licence for the Scottish development.
Starmer said: "We will accept the baseline that we inherit from the government if we win that election … in order to ensure we have the stability that we desperately need in our economy."
The protesters said in their letter: “This is the most critical juncture in human history and you will likely soon be in the fortunate position where you can enact real, meaningful change.”
They added: “You have a choice. You can join a long list of politicians that promised change and delivered nothing, knowing full well that insufficient action is killing people right now and will result in the deaths of countless millions more.
“Or you can make a commitment to cancel all licences approved by the current government and end all future licensing and consents for fossil fuel exploration and extraction in the UK.”
Just a few weeks ago, Just Stop Oil protesters staged a similar demonstration outside Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's home in Kensington, London.
Making similar demands, they banged pots and pans outside the PM's London residence.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The protest was held to coincide with the start of the Cop28 climate conference in Dubai.
Cop28 saw the prime minister say he was "not in hock to ideological zealots" on the issue of climate change.
