A message from Caroline Lucas

Our first Green MP and former Leader of the Party

  • "I strongly believe that the leadership of the party has to come from within our team of MPs. They remind people on a daily basis that Greens are winning power at the highest level, and exercising it for the public good. Ellie and Adrian make a formidable team. And both are committed to transformational change in how the Party operates - bringing the party together, stepping up to this unprecedented moment in history, taking on the hard right, and championing the urgent need for social and environmental justice. This is a time for the energy and experience of elected office that Ellie and Adrian can offer."

    Caroline Lucas, former MP

  • "I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie as they have experience as Green Party Councillors and MPs - roles which I believe are crucial as a basis of a leadership role of a political party. Their sensible politics will unite, grow and strengthen the party, which is just what is needed leading up to the UK's next general elections and as we focus on the environmental and social justice policies that win us hearts and votes."

    Cllr Amanda Onwuemene, Chair of Global Majority Greens, GPEW Spokesperson for Policing & Domestic Safety

  • "Our party has a tremendous opportunity in the years ahead - to put the planet and its people at the heart of the country's political agenda. We have made significant progress over the last few years: more councillors, more councils where we are leading - and we want that to continue by appealing to the many voters who support our policies. That's why I am endorsing Ellie and Adrian's bid to lead the Green Party. They have a proven track record of winning and representing communities. A strong leadership team to take the party forward."

    Cllr Andy Mellen, Mid Suffolk District Council Leader

  • "Ellie and Adrian are compassionate, collaborative leaders, and trusted Green voices in Parliament and the media. With their skills and experience, I’m confident the Green Party can build on recent electoral success and attract support from across the political spectrum to elect even more Green MPs and councillors."

    Cllr Catherine Braun, Stroud District, Leader of the Green Group

  • "In exceptionally challenging times, the Green Party needs exceptional leadership, which is why I’m so pleased to endorse Adrian and Ellie, as the next co-leaders of the Party. They are both remarkable individuals in their own right and have grown into formidable spokespeople for the Party over the last few years, with a focus on the issues that really matter for the Party: climate, fair taxation, nature, international justice, and an end to the genocide in Gaza. Together, they will make a truly formidable team!"

    Jonathon Porritt, Author and Campaigner

  • "I've been so inspired by both Ellie and Adrian’s enthusiasm, professionalism, how much they have already achieved in the short time they have been Green MP’s. They are both fantastic ambassadors for the Green Party, and I’d be proud to see them as our co-leaders."

    Cllr Chloe Turner, Committee Chair, Stroud District Council


  • "As a councillor in a Labour heartland, I know Ellie and Adrian have what it takes to bring the party's message to working class voters. As members of parliament they are in a prime position to take on Keir Starmer and his failing Government head on! As a progressive party I also think it’s imperative we have a high profile woman in our leadership team."

    Cllr Graham Golding, Chair of Knowsley Green Party

  • "Our party needs to get serious about power. Ellie and Adrian understand what power is about. Not influence, not campaigning, but real power. That's our ambition and our goal as a political party and that's why I'm supporting Ellie and Adrian to be our next leadership team."

    Molly Scott Cato, former MEP, External Comms Coordinator, GPEX

  • "Ellie and Adrian have the profile, platform and professionalism to make sure the Green message hits home to as many voters as possible before the next general election! We have to build a broad coalition of voters, Ellie and Adrian have a proven track record of winning people over at the ballot box, not just on Twitter!"

    Cllr Kai Taylor, Leader of Green Group on Knowsley Council, former national elections coordinator

  • "I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie because we need credible experienced leaders who have experience of appealing to progressive voters that Labour has abandoned, but also to the vast swathe of more rural, often ex-Conservative voters who aren’t seeing choices other than the LibDems or Reform. We have to slot ourselves into that space or Nigel Farage will."

    Cllr Emily O’Brien, Cabinet member, Lewes District Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian will make a great leadership team for the Green Party. As two prominent parliamentarians they speak truth to power in Parliament on a daily basis. They have been directly elected as MPs by their constituencies, against the odds in a General Election. This gives them the legitimacy and authority to speak for the Green Party at a national level. Ellie and Adrian are both people the Green Party can unite behind. They will broaden the appeal of the Green Party and provide the accessible alternative to Reform UK."

    Cllr Andrew Cooper

  • "I am thrilled to support Ellie and Adrian for leadership of the Green Party. I trust them to bring the grounded and clear leadership the Party needs."

    Cllr Johnny Denis, Cabinet member, Lewes District Council, Chair of Association of Green Councillors

  • "It’s not enough for our leaders to appeal to the Green bubble. If we are going to win elections, they have to appeal to teachers, plasterers, drivers and nurses: the voting public. That’s why I’m backing Ellie and Adrian. They are proven to be electable, and can lead the Green Party to the next level."

    Mark Redding, Chair of West Midlands Green Party
