Following this morning's announcement that Caroline Lucas will not be re-standing as a candidate for parliament in the next general election, I'm sure you will all join us in thanking Caroline for her truly inspiring work.

“Caroline’s impact on politics in this country cannot be overstated: she truly is a force of nature and has been an extraordinary servant of the people of Brighton Pavilion as well as the Green Party. We are so proud of her achievements.

Whether securing significant policy changes, shaping the conversation, or modeling a different way of doing politics - Caroline demonstrates how essential it is to have Green voices in UK politics. I’ve learnt so much from her, she is an inspiration to me and to many people inside and outside the Green Party who want to see positive change in politics .” - Carla Denyer

“Caroline’s contribution to our national life has been something to behold for the more than two decades we’ve known one another. 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.

Having MPs who are genuinely dedicated to standing up for the climate and nature could not be more important than it is right now and that’s why we are striving to get more Green MPs elected at the next General Election so that we can build on Caroline’s achievements.” - Adrian Ramsay

If you would like thank Caroline, you can do so here, we know that so many of you have also been inspired by her.

You can also sign up to hear more about how you can get involved in the key constituencies where we are primed to win our next MPs. Your support is vital and has a huge impact on our chances of winning.

In solidarity,

Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay
