Listen: Bristol Unpacked with Neil Maggs

Carla Denyer, an elected councillor in the city, has just won the leadership of the Green Party of England and Wales alongside Adrian Ramsay. With Labour shifting to the right, and concern about the climate crisis starting to become mainstream, Denyer thinks this is the moment for Greens, in the UK and beyond. But can they get out of their pigeon-hole and reach a wide range of society? Will internal divisions rock the party like they have others? And what does this all mean for Bristol? Join Neil for an in depth interview on Carla’s background, politics and plans.
