Caroline Lucas in Conversation: How to beat right wing populism

Edinburgh – 10/3/26

Caroline Lucas has been prominent in British politics for 25 years, including as the UK’s first Green Party MP and as a leader of the Greens in England and Wales.  Her latest book, “Another England” argues that the Right has hijacked Englishness and that, at a time of rising populism, we urgently need more diverse and inclusive stories of national identity. Hear her in conversation with the Scottish journalist Adam Ramsay
