JUST Stop Oil has been slammed for "hypocrisy" after importing T-shirts made 4,000 miles away to sell to supporters.

The eco-warriors, notorious for disrupting traffic and sporting and cultural events, ship in merchandise made in the Dominican Republic with no apology for the carbon-creating journey it takes.

Senior Tory Sir Iain Duncan Smith said JSO was demonstrating its "do what I say, not what I do" attitude.

The activists' store is selling "iconic" T-shirts with its logo emblazoned across the front, for £20 in orange or white to help fund their disruptive stunts.

The garments, made by low-paid workers, are described on the website as being 100% cotton, and customers are assured they are made with "no oil".

But cross-party politicians lined up to criticise the climate group, infamous for creating havoc, over its "blatant inconsistency".

Reform UK MP Richard Tice said the eco-group were "hypocrisy personified", adding: "Just Stop Oil uses just cheap labour and just fossil fuels to make its merchandise." Former Tory MP Bob Seely said that JSO using an overseas T-shirt supplier "sums them up really".

He added: "They drone on about saving the planet but fly in T-shirts from 4,000 miles away.

"Perhaps if they practised what they preached they would get them made in the UK.

"The words hypocrisy and double standards spring to mind. Being a responsible person should mean buying stuff made closer to home, not on the other side of the world."
