Caroline Lucas: Reimagining England

BSL Captioned

Twice leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, and the Member of Parliament for Brighton Pavilion from 2010 until she steps down at the next general election, Caroline Lucas this year launches her second book Another England, which fights back against the hijacking of Englishness by the political right in its exploration of all that’s great in the country’s radical and cultural history. In conversation with Allan Little.
