Led By Donkeys 

Led by Donkeys is a political campaign group that was created as an initially anti-Brexit group that has since expanded its focus to critiquing corruption and hypocrisy within the Conservative party. After the 2024 election in which Labour won in a landslide, the group has stated that they will expand to holding the Labour party accountable as well. Created as an anti-Brexit group, Led By Donkeys uses life-sized, guerilla art projects and billboards to target Conservative (and, more recently, Labour) politicians whom the group considers hypocritical.

Key activist projects that Led by Donkeys have created include the projection of edited social media posts on billboards and Parliament. Led by Donkeys also participates in protests and performing arts. Notable examples include the unfurling of massive pro-EU flags at protests and the carving of messages on fields and beaches.
