- In 2010 Caroline Lucas made history when she was elected as the MP for Brighton Pavilion, becoming the first Green Party candidate to enter Parliament. She has increased her majority at every election since and served as the Green leader twice. In her 14 years in Westminster, Caroline has used her platform to put environmental and equality issues on the political agenda.
Her latest book, Another England sets out how we can reclaim England's national story from Brexit cheerleaders and the radical right.

Caroline is one of our few honest politicians, if only they were all like her.
LOL LOL LOL
She did nothing but self serving, grow up.
@@ronniecoleman5860 When you're old enough to vote you can decide for yourself. (Mummy will help too, so don't worry).
I would agree with that 100%
She’s a doomsdayer😊
Vote Green!
I would, but in my constituency the Labour Party are the only one that has any chance of removing the Tory incumbent so I won’t. However, with a Proportional Representative voting system I certainly would 👍
Vote conspiracy theory you mean
She was my MP for a long time and 8 can genuinely say she was brilliant
💯 respect for this woman. I wish we had more like her in parliament. I understand her need to ground in nature. It's a priceless tonic.
How wonderful that there are people like Caroline andJames out there. They convince me there may be hope for the future
Carl beech.
Am a huge admirer of Caroline Lucas and James O'Brien so am so glad to see this conversation. Have been waiting for it for a long time!
Not yet Mao and Marx but make utopia great again.
@@harry.flashmanWTF are you banging on about?
So eloquent, deeply intelligent and such a wonderful ambassador for the Green movement.
Sangita Myska has been suspended after the Israeli embassy complained that "SHE"was making their spokespeople look bad. There is an online petition to reinstate her, SIGN IT PLEASE.
Where did you get this information?
I've signed. Thanks.
Where can I sign please !!
I've signed and I've unsubscribed in protest. This is how ethical journalists get shut down at the behest of a pariah state.
Eye opening and enjoyable thank you. I didn't cringe once - not bad for me. Caroline has given me lots to think about. A lovely interview 🎉
Where is SANGITA?
Lovely personality, full of charm and dignity and it should not be necessary to give these qualifications to a British MP unless they are very rare to find.
Thank you for this, Caroline Lucas is fantastic
She has been such a stellar mp and she is going to be hugely missed by the greens as i think people voted for her character as much as her party. Great lady
Caroline, please don't go.
Great podcast James Keep it going .
I like listening to the life-stories of different people!
Thanks!
Starmer wants to destroy the world too! Brilliant put down!
My favourite line
FPTP is Not democratic
FPTP was created by the Conservative party to limit the rise of the Labour party, the PM asked the House of Lords to decide ...the Conservative HOL opted for FPTP.
@@normanchristie4524Who was PM who decided this?
The most convincing politician I heard in AGES. Shame she resigned as an MP
because know one votes for her party😂😂😂
@@ravd8082FPTP is to blame! It’s honestly shocking her party is getting so many votes despite the wretched system. I think that shows there is a latent desire for green leadership.
She was a conspiracy theorist
@@lighting7508 if you say so greens fall short all the time
@@anonomous8719 EXPLAIN!
One awesome person plus another awesome person equals an amazing level of listening awesomeness
A bloomin’ shame Caroline never got a government post. As tiresome as it must be to be The Green Party Spokesperson on Everything, I bet she’d have been a success in any department.
She was a conspiracy theorist
@@anonomous8719 firstly, she’s still alive. Secondly, in what way?
Do really like Caroline Lucas, she’ll be a great loss to politics IMO. I’d like to see The Greens gain ground (they slowly are at a local level but on a national level I’d have been happy to see them in a Labour/Green coalition as Starmers worst traits will need tempering).
She speaks incredibly well and more often that not proposes common sense ideas whereas the current rigged system just offers STATUS QUO….
Bookmarked this for later viewing.
She is so right. . Mother nature has always known best.. she is our mother...😮
Imagine a world where principled people like Caroline, were in positions of power/ influence. What a different place we would be living in! Shame she feels the need to move on but then again, who can blame her, when you see the ridiculous sham of democracy that Westminster is! More power to her.
I'm not a fan of personality politics/basing it on a single person. But if there was a way to just get Caroline Lucas in power, I'd do so in a hearbeat
Great interview thank you
Just an excellent interview. Thank you.
Just love Ms Lucsas!
Eloquent, knowledgeable, caring and believable .
Think we need to step back, have a long hard think and go again.
Love it to happen but I feel I am in a minority. Or am I?
What a lovely, intelligent, interesting woman.
Caroline Lucas is the best of the best.
If we all took care of mother nature...we would all be so much healthier and happier... we should stop poisoning mother nature...that includes our waters....
So refreshing to see in Caroline Lucas, a genuinely honest and transparent politician. Many could take a leaf out of her book in how they conduct themselves in office.
Im voting Green this time and its because of Caroline Lucas. I listened to her in an interview a while ago and her integrity shone through, in stark contrast to the likes of sunack and starmer!
Where’s Sangita Myska?
Thank you Caroline for acknowledging that the UK is more than England. There's a saying in Scotland, it's England as Britain, Britain as England. A lot of Scots who voted Remain had/have reservations about the EU, but it made us feel a bit safer within the UK. Rachel Reeves recently said she'd like to abolish Scotland. That's how England is perceived by a lot of Scots. I would love to see England reclaim it's pride in itself and realise that each individual country in the UK is valid and has a lot to give to the whole.
Out of my friends, colleagues snd family, I've found a lot of people of the milennial and gen z era are ashamed to be English. English, not British. Im hoping that in five to ten years, politics will look very different
The British people voted it in, you cannot hide or withhold that
She is gold. Thank you James
Got Ms Lucas book on order.
How many trees got chopped down to print it? 😧
Where's Sangita???
First past the post is designed specifically to exclude a million Green voters and to ensure that the only choice is corporate Tories or corporate labour.
The system works.
Listen to Fintan O’Toole, Scottish devolution gave quite a boost to English Nationalism, Farage and the far right. Deprivation was somehow highlighted, fertile ground for the appealing lies of Johnson & the like.🌷
It was the most depressing interview, we're all doomed.
You were much better in Dad's Army, Fraser
Caroline you will be missed greatly. There aren’t many politicians like her. Both James and Caroline give me hope this country can get back on track and the headbangers can be resigned to the history books!
Where’s Sangita?
She regrets that the British people voted out
The brexit referendum could have been neutered just by having three options, stay, leave and leave but stay in the SM and CU. Of course that requires a brain, something Cameron lacks
The trouble was that both leavers and remainers both agreed that a soft brexit was a meaningless brexit. For different reasons.
Cameron is cunning , he did it deliberately
How's the rejoin campaign going?
The mistake with the referendum was that it was voted on as a simple majority. Thousands who voted leave were dead before the final act was completed and thousands more became of voting age and therefore had no say by the time the final process was signed. Based on the demographics of the vote by the time we actually left the majority that had existed was gone.
But no doubt if Cameron had said 60% must vote to leave the Brexiteers would have screamed unfair because they knew that this was their last chance to get a leave majority as age demographics were rapidly running against them.
Problem is that the third option was not something that was for the UK to decide. That's purely in the gift of the other Member States. You certainly could have voted for it, but no guarantee you'd get it.
an echo chamber of hate
RIP Sangita Myska
Where is Sangita? LBC have you sacked her? Why has she been removed - are you bowing to Zionist pressure?
I live near Seaford [which Caroline will know] and it is a very small town, there used to be a plethora of private schools most of which have disappeared now
I've never liked the Rights flavour of English Ness, there are other varieties available!
Where is sangita??
Remainers were pushing back against a complicit barrage of English exceptionalism
And lies spread by Farage
@@arbjfulgreat man
I obtained EU information such as cd’s and booklets, also previously I had taken a course on European law. Apparently in various discussions I knew nothing the subject according to brexit fanboys. Also the times I heard people say that they would use the EU referendum to give the Cameron govt “a kicking”. Sigh. I can at least say I voted green whilst living in Brighton.
Hate to say it, but until Sangita is back I will not be listening/watching LBC. Hard to lead the conversation when you're not allowed to speak.
She should have been part of the labour party, instead of splitting the vote and putting the Tories in
Where's Carl Beech?
Right.. we didnt lnow what we were voting for!
James looks like Oli Dugmore's dad here
Fintan O’Toole is masterly at analyzing the especially English feeling of being left behind due to the horrors of those horrible people in Brussels.
When a politician regrets giving the public a choice theres something terribly wrong
..with that politician
Because she didn't get the answer she wanted, if it had gone the other way she would have been more than happy with it. Democratic? No she is not.
It's a 2 party system, that's why...
A lot of snp mp and maps r honest too and have the welfare of their citizens at their heart u like the little engkand voted for tory party. Remember tories only got 6 seats in Scotland, SNP 62. After pr tories had 31 seats and SNP 63. Tories did not get those extra 25 seats from votes but by calculation.
I'm somewhat shocked to discover I got into Green politics 3 years earlier than Caroline. Blimey, too much perspective!
Rewild Britain! Build a thousand council estates!
Pick one.
Those jumpers are not really flattering on James' chiselled physique 🙈🤣
Change Petition Sangita Myska LBC bowing down to Israel embassy
Where can I sign this petition ?????
@@callyyeadon2653 google Sangita Myska petition if you post the actual link its been getting removed
👍🏼
Not listening. Sangita
My problem with joiningbthe EU was how the voting would be calculated for who is in charge everything they said as a benifit looked like a trick and if the explained more our vote wouldnt be lost or useless it would of probably swayed me. Free movment is just not enough of a lure making the rich richer threw easyier trade does nothing for me this is why they lost the swing voters wernt worried about a holiday or retirement abroad as if your able to do that you jave money anyway so does it even matter in the end
I'm Irish and we are having a bad time with immigration but what always seems to puzzle me is the people who voted remain always say "this is what you voted for" to the people who voted to leave the eu and we all agree they were mislead even them so what did they vote for? Well it was to take back control of their borders so my question is instead of criticising them shouldn't the remainers be criticising the government for not fulfilling the wishes of the people? It seems like a cheap shot to take aim at the people for being mislead when the fault is with government.
Bring sangita back
_"With your rescue dog"_ - don't old back on the virtue-signalling lol!
DRIVELATHON
In 2018 Israeli soldiers shot over 6,000 Palestinians. In many cases they were shot with illegal expanding ammunition. So, did the present iteration of this problem begin on 7th October 2023 (1,200 casualties) or March/Dec 2018 (6,000 casualties) Discus ??
Has James swallowed a seal ?
Just his Ego
Her biggest regret is letting people finally have a say after 40 years for membership of an organisation of which its trajectory was never directly guided by public consent? Says a lot about her attitude to the electorate. These people do not believe the public should be allowed a say, it's disgraceful.
Exactly. We joined a common market. It somehow morphed into a political union, without the consent of the people. The electorate.
It’s because of the expense of green policies. People are in crisis without more expense of replacing things changing cars and so on and so on.
Scotland’s biggest regret is staying in this joke Union that has been destroyed by the Tories when it voted to remain in the E.U….Time for independence 🏴☮️🇪🇺
Green Party? Now that's a fine joke. More like the Lignite Party.
So basically another one of James friends lol
Where did it go ? Immigration on mass , that James likes .
Possibly the funniest thing I've seen since Nicola Sturgeons husband was charged with theft!
Caroline Lucas...the least successful politician in decades!
Well done LBC for giving her a voice for the utter failure and dribbling idiocy she leaves behind. Marvellous!
She has won her seat repeatedly. Most politicians never win a seat, therefore she can not be "the least successful politician in decades"
Logic, not your thing?
Vote green and you vote for nonsense etc says it all really a regret for voteing for an eu referendum as the answer was not what she wanted? Conversation would be different if an asylum seeker centre was put into where she lives etc but they never are put into green areas? Wonder y? Also what does James not understand about Nigel Farage etc so out of touch
Her career consisted of doing absolutely nothing. Apart from the obvious self serving.
.... okay David. You carry on voting for the type of ACTUAL self-serving MP's that we have a plethora of, like Boris Johnson, or Liz Truss or Lee Anderson, if that's the type of country you want us to continue being I'm glad you are happy. But don't come on the internet with your ignorant posts about Caroline Lucas being self-serving when she is an example of the exact opposite.
@@luke7708 For your information I am a communist by nature. If you can’t understand people like Caroline Lucas aren’t self serving, then to quote Bob Dylan “ It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.”
@@david-pb4bi I'm sure you are David. Please tell me how Caroline Lucas is self-serving?
@david-pb4bi "Staunch Labour supporter", presumably even under the current leadership, is communist by nature. Ok
Caroline Lucas, like Layla Moran, is unusual in that everything they say is right - how do they do that?
Layla Moran is a Lib Dem and has therefore never been right about anything ever.
Translated: I don't like democracy very much
Translated: we don’t live in a direct democracy where every decision is decided by a simple vote.
We vote for representatives who are hopefully more informed than the average Brit. Is that not how our democracy works?
@@lighting7508 Those representatives we voted for gave the population a vote, then when they get the result they don't like they do all they can to destroy it - yeah very democratic.
Well, she is one of the voices to leave the EU.
Still bleating about Brexit 😅😅😅
What a brain drain this guy has become 🎉
Absolutely, he just cannot accept a democratic vote that didn't go his way. His radio show is the same, just anti-brexit cobblers from start to finish.
The brain drains are those that voted for it, like kneecapping yourself to spite your foot 😂😂😂
@@andrewelder8212boohooooooo
@@andrewelder8212 so you mean the majority, Why so salty 🧂 🤣
BREXIT is here and it will stay, like it or not and the EU has moved on years ago. They dont have to suffer the consequences of it nor Tory rule! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
