BREAKING: Former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas is stepping down at the next general election.
She said:"I've done everything possible to help wherever I can and always worked to ensure that people feel heard, that their concerns matter, and that they are not alone.
"But the intensity of these constituency commitments, together with the particular responsibilities of being my party's sole MP, mean that, ironically, I've not been able to focus as much as I would like on the existential challenges that drive me - the nature and climate emergencies.
"Whether securing significant policy changes, shaping the conversation or modelling a different way of doing politics, Caroline demonstrates how essential it is to have green voices in UK politics." Joint leader Adrian Ramsay added:"Very few politicians can claim to have changed the course of the national debate in the way Caroline has. She has brought so much to us as a party, shown real integrity in her work and added a crucial dimension to our democracy in this country."
He said the party is now"striving to get more Green MPs elected at the next general election so that we can build on Caroline's achievements".
