An Extinction Rebellion leader has been labeled a “sky-high hypocrite” after accumulating more than 17,000 miles of flying in her shopping cart.
Gail Bradbrook was pictured in high-brow Waitrose buying goods including Vietnamese tea and Chilean grapes – from more than 7,000 miles around the world.
She also drove to the supermarket in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in a 1.5 liter diesel car.
The 50-year-old activist founded the environmental group in 2018 with ex-boyfriend Simon Bramwell.
Extinction Rebellion says that ‘every part of society must take action now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions’ as part of its three main demands.

The mother’s belongings, from three different continents, were packed in plastic, nylon and polythene.
She did everything Extinction Rebellion says we shouldn’t do,” said one viewer the sun.
The 38-year-old web developer continued: “Buying fruit that has been flown halfway around the world in non-recyclable packaging and then driving it home in a diesel engine – what a towering hypocrite.
“But at least she wasn’t stopped by idiots glued to the road on her way home.”
The activist also walked out with Quorn vegan chicken free slices and Duchy Organic chicken wings – both covered in non-recyclable foil.
One-fifth of all food-related greenhouse gas emissions come from transporting edible products around the planet.
These are even higher for fruit and vegetables that are out of season – and must be transported refrigerated.

And it’s just a week after militant animal rights activists Animal Rising stormed the Grand National at Liverpool’s Aintree Racecourse after posing as racegoers, delaying the race as they were tackled by officials and officers.
Just Stop Oil activists Edred Whittingham, 25, and his comrade Margaret Reid, 52, forced a World Cup snooker match at the Crucible to be canceled on Monday after he jumped onto a table and threw orange powder over it. She failed to pull off the same stunt after the referee stopped her.
Bradbrook previously made headlines after she caused £27,500 worth of damage to the Department for Transport building when she smashed a bulletproof window with a chisel and hammer in 2019.
Prosecutor Katie Bryan told the court: “In her police questioning, the defendant said she acted to draw attention to the case and compared her actions to the suffragettes in smashing windows to get the vote.”
She is currently the director of Compassionate Revolution company, which had an unlimited income of £1,410,230 in the year ended June 30, 2022.
It was founded in 2015 and at that time had a total unlimited spend of £1,342,085.
She sparked anger in 2021 after neighbors complained about her “eyesore” house and overgrown yard.
And that same year, she was labeled a hypocrite after admitting to driving a diesel car, saying she couldn’t afford an electric car.

She said she needs the car to take her children to football and rugby matches because her home is not served by “buses that run on Sundays.”
In an angry interview with TalkRadio host Cristo Foufas, he labeled her a “hypocrite” and she responded by calling him a “boring interviewer.”
Molecular biologist Dr Bradbrook was previously criticized for flying 11,000 miles to Costa Rica in 2016 to stay at the luxury £2,500 New Life Iboga resort.
She later claimed she flew to the island because of a health problem that could not be solved in the UK.
The trip had a carbon footprint of 2.6 tonnes – a quarter of the amount the average Briton emits in a full year.
