My advice to the new Green party leader? It's time to expose the climate deniers | Carla Denyer

I'm incredibly grateful to those who gave me that push. Few moments more perfectly capture that journey than standing at my own election count in the early hours of the morning, about to be interviewed, and hearing reports come in from around the country that we had hit our target and secured not only my seat, overturning a 28,000 Labour majority, making a total of four constituencies, along with an amazing 40 second-place results. We had absolutely smashed our previous records.
