I've just started reading #AnotherEngland by #CarolineLucas and this #Guardian article about #England and Englishness is very timely. Independence for the countries of the UK is very much on the table IMO and redefining Englishness is part of this. This's the place where the future of UK politics will be contested.

Ahead of her speaking tour of Edinburgh & Glasgow, Caroline Lucas writes in The National on what she has learned about combating the far right, and how the prospect of independence for Scotland and Wales means that England must redefine itself.

Scotland, we need to talk about how we can take on the far right

I’ll be discussing what I learned while campaigning in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and how we can take on the far right together

@jaygooby thrilling. #ZackPolanski and #CarolineLucas were full of positivity at the sold out podcast recording at The Dome in #Brighton this week.

It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official

Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

This is a much-more media friendly, soundbitey speech than we are used to seeing from a #GPEW leader. Even #CarolineLucas speeches were a bit more policy-and-accomplishments focused, rather than this quite fiery, build-to-the-applause moments, orchestrated speech from #ZackPolanski .

By learning to wield political power, Greens could fill the void at the heart of British politics | Adam Ramsay https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/10/green-party-leadership-contest-political-power-realist-fundamentalist #NatalieBennett #Greenpolitics #CarolineLucas #AdrianRamsay #Greenparty #SiânBerry #Politics #UKnews
By learning to wield political power, Greens could fill the void at the heart of British politics

The task is to reconcile ‘realists’ and ‘fundamentalists’, and that can be done. It would offer voters a radical alternative to Labour, says Adam Ramsay, a journalist and Green party member
