Take Back Power (TBP) is a British nonviolent civil resistance group primarily focused on the issue of wealth inequality and citizens' assemblies.[1] The group's stated aims are to force the British government to "tax extreme wealth" and create a permanent citizens' assembly in the UK government that it calls the "House of the People".[2] Its tactics include civil resistance, nonviolent direct action, shoplifting, mutual aid, and publicity stunts.[3][4]

In January 2026, the group held a launch event at detailing their strategy.[5][6] They did a series of "take backs" in March 2026 involving stealing food from supermarkets to distribute to the local community.[1] In April 2026, they plan a series of sit-ins at high-end shops alongside publicity stunts. Their stated motivation for this is to turn public attention towards inequality, with the aim of decreasing the likelihood of Reform UK winning the next UK general election.[4]

Protests

On the 3rd of December 2025, three Take Back Power supporters entered The Ritz Hotel and emptied bags of manure into the lobby. They then sat outside the hotel holding signs saying "Inequality is shit, tax the rich".[7][8] On the 6th of December, two people threw apple crumble at the case containing the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, they then held a sign saying "Democracy has crumbled, tax the rich" before being removed by security. Four arrests were made in connection to this case under suspicion of causing criminal damage.[2][9]

On 5 March 2026, the Metropolitan Police raided the Westminster Quaker meeting house and arrested fifteen Take Back Power activists, accusing them of plans for "mass shoplifting".[10][11] On 14 March, the group carried out these actions, targeting shops in four cities, stealing boxes of food that they later donated to food banks.[12][13]
