The Green Moment
What does it feel like to inherit the most famous Green seat in Britain? Siân Berry, MP for Brighton Pavilion and successor to Caroline Lucas, sits down with Leslie Clarke to talk about the rise of the Green Party and what it means to be at the heart of it.
I have been wanting to sit down properly with Siân Berry for a while. She is one of those people who brings a lot of passion to her work, and that comes across from the first moment. We recorded this Political by Design episode on a glorious Brighton afternoon, one of those early spring days, and she had already been out for an ice cream. That felt right.
This is a conversation that needed to happen in Brighton, the place she represents, on a day the city finally remembered who it is – after a long, grey and cold winter. A winter that brought more horizontal rain — that nasty stuff that gets your face wet but leaves your umbrella dry — than I thought was physically possible.
Siân Berry on the Green Moment. Out this Friday 27 March wherever you get your podcasts.
