"Take Back Power, which describes itself as a nonviolent civil resistance group, appears to be an offshoot of Just Stop Oil and has previously claimed responsibility for both incidents."
"At the time of the Crown Jewels' incident, the group said its activists flung crumble and custard at the display case to demand that the government established a permanent citizen's assembly, or 'House of the People', with the power to 'tax extreme wealth and fix Britain'."
"Democracy has crumbled,' one protester could be heard shouting."
Eight activists have been charged with criminal damage for two separate incidents in London. Four individuals dumped manure at The Ritz Hotel on December 3, 2025. Another four threw crumble and custard at the Crown Jewels display on December 6, 2025. The group, Take Back Power, claims responsibility for these actions, advocating for a citizen's assembly to address wealth inequality. All defendants are scheduled to appear in court within two weeks. Earlier, 15 activists were arrested for alleged plans of mass shoplifting in London.
