THE CORRUPTION - DIVORCE TO PRESENT THE LABOUR INVESTMENT SCHEME Since 2014, Dale Vince has donated £6 million to the Labour Party. Not £1.5 million. The earlier figures were incomplete. The real total is £6 million. Direct donations to Keir Starmer. Direct donations to Angela Rayner. The man who told the Guardian "I do want to influence policy but not by buying access" while writing cheques that clear. THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT In the year ending April 2023 alone, Green Britain Group, Vince's parent company received £123 million in "government grants." This is not total over years. This is one year. £123 million. Since 2020, Ecotricity has received £3.55 million in contracts from City Hall to supply power to Sadiq Khan's operations. Trafalgar Square. City Hall. The flagships. The maths: Donate £6 million. Receive £123 million plus £3.55 million. A 2,000% return in a single year. THE HAMAS INCIDENT October 7, 2023: Hamas murders, rapes, kidnaps Israelis. October 9, 2023: Two days later, Dale Vince goes on Times Radio. Asked about Hamas, he says: "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Angela Rayner, Labour Deputy Leader, calls his comments "appalling." Says he should "reflect" on them. A Tory minister demands Labour return the £6 million. Vince sues Richard Tice for defamation, claiming Tice falsely said he supported Hamas. Vince loses the case. The "freedom fighter" comment is real. It is on tape. It is indefensible. THE PALESTINIAN FLAGS At Forest Green Rovers, the football club Vince owns, the Palestinian flag flies. Giant flag at Ecotricity HQ in Stroud. He refuses to remove them despite planning complaints, sponsor withdrawals, and fan backlash. He compares Palestine to Ukraine. Says they have "all the same ingredients." Says Israelis shouldn't feel threatened by the flag. This from a man who called Hamas terrorists "freedom fighters." THE ANTISEMITISM CONTROVERSY December 2025: Following the Bondi Beach massacre, Vince claims the "biggest single cause" of antisemitism is "the genocide in Palestine." Claims Netanyahu "wants antisemitism to be a thing" and "acts to make it so." Kemi Badenoch calls it "morally repugnant." Jewish community leaders condemn him. Labour distances itself while keeping the £6 million. THE PIVOT After making £107 million on net zero hysteria, after taking £123 million in grants for "green energy," Dale Vince now attacks the very policies that built his empire: January 2026: Heat pumps were "mis-sold." They don't save money. Government claims are false. January 2026: His net zero airline, Ecojet, collapses before flying a single passenger. Liquidated. £20 million funding failed. June 2026: Net zero is "toxic." Ed Miliband's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero should be broken up. The term "net zero" should be scrapped. Miliband is "unfit to be Chancellor" and lacks "grasp of basic value for money." This from a man whose company took £123 million from that department in one year. THE ASSESSMENT Dale Vince is not an environmentalist. He is a political investor with returns that would embarrass a hedge fund. He bought Labour for £6 million. He received £123 million in one year. He called Hamas freedom fighters. He flies foreign flags over his football club while taking British subsidies. He made his fortune on net zero, then declared it toxic once the cheques cleared. This is corruption wearing a hemp shirt. This is the green grift exposed. And Labour is at the heart of it, taking his money, defending his comments, delivering his returns. The working class freeze. The grid fails. The bills rise. Dale Vince is in his hill fort. The con is complete.
