Caroline Lucas, the pioneering Green MP, reflects on her life after stepping down from Parliament, embracing a new phase filled with advocacy, writing, and personal pursuits. She shares her fondness for Brighton's oldest vegetarian restaurant, Food for Friends, while grappling with the transition to a less structured day. Despite feeling liberated from parliamentary duties, she admits adapting has been challenging. Currently, Lucas is working on various projects, including a children's book, and remains active in environmental activism and European politics, showcasing her enduring commitment to the issues she cares about.
It's tempting to think of Caroline Lucas as a kind of spirit of place in Brighton.
Far from it: she remains a tireless activist on the issues she cares about the environment and the climate crisis.
I'm finding it much harder to adapt than I thought I would... it is liberating not to have to haul yourself up to Westminster.
She is writing a children's book, and has an acclaimed adult one already out called Another England.
