A group of Extinction Rebellion activists launched their new political party in London today by shoplifting from a supermarket 'because poverty sucks'. Five members of the new Beyond Politics party walked out of a Sainsbury's store in Camden with trolleys laden with food. They had earlier used a loudspeaker to proclaim that they were giving away free food. Discussing the stunt, party member Benedict McGorty said: 'I'm not stealing food, I'm 'gift-aiding' it. Hallam says he is assisting with design and organisational work for the new political party and insists that it is separate from the Extinction Rebellion movement.
