The group’s website claims “Britain is broken because the super rich are pocketing billions” and that it said the organisation is made up of “ordinary people from all walks of life who believe that in order to fix Britain, we have to tax the rich”.

However, members of TBP are said to have stolen food from supermarkets in four cities on Saturday morning and then donated it to food banks. The activists claim they were “liberating” produced from branches of Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Tesco.

The Telegraph reports police are yet to make any arrests in relation to the protest, according to a spokesman for the activists.

Its understood supermarkets were targeted in affluent areas such as Exeter in Devon and Truro in Cornwall, as well the the trendy Manchester suburb of Didsbury and the well-heeled London area of Lewisham.

Footage showed the protesters taking tins of tomatoes, pasta sauce, rice, baked beans, tea bags and nappies from supermarket shelves. It’s reported none of the items were paid for and later given away to food banks or to members of the public.

One 74-year-old woman said she stole items from Morrisons on Prince Charles Road in Exeter because of the “terrible situation in this country”.

A spokesman for the group said: “Until the Government makes a meaningful statement in response to our demand, we will undertake non-violent action to resist the super-rich, who are driving us towards social collapse.”

TBP announced plans for further disruption this spring at its formal launch on January 17, 2026. The meeting took place at Limehouse Town Hall in East London, with a crowd of approximately 200 people.

According to The Telegraph, Arthur Clifton, co-founder of TBP and a former prominent JSO activist, said the group’s first step would include a series of “take-backs”.

He reportedly said: “We have seen that food is locked behind skyrocketing prices. Less and less people can afford less and less food.” Mr Clifton said the aim is to take food to redistribute to the local community.”
