A group of European diplomats appear to have given a ringing endorsement to the prospect of Bristol providing Britain’s second ever Green Party member of parliament, by heading out on a tour to ‘meet future MPs’, and including Bristol West’s Green candidate Carla Denyer.
The diplomats travelled out from their London embassies saying they wanted to understand perspectives outside of the ‘Westminster bubble’, and found themselves being shown around the Wellspring Settlement and Barton Hill and Lawrence Hill’s tower blocks by the Bristol city councillor and Green Party national co-leader.
Cllr Denyer (Green, Clifton Down) is confirmed as the Green Party candidate for Bristol West’s seat, currently held by Labour’s Thangam Debbonaire, who might raise an eyebrow at the description of her Green Party rival as a ‘future MP’ by diplomats from Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Poland and the EU itself.
