About Siân Berry

Siân Rebecca Berry is a British politician who has served as the member of Parliament for Brighton Pavilion since July 2024, succeeding Caroline Lucas. She was a co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales alongside Jonathan Bartley from 2018 to 2021, and was its sole leader from July to October 2021. From 2006 to 2007, she was one of the Green Party's principal speakers. In her first major party political role as the party's campaigns co-ordinator, Berry led the Green Energy Works campaign, calling for low carbon, non-nuclear energy to tackle climate change. Berry came fourth, with 3.15% of first preferences and 13.50% of second preferences. Berry came third in the first preference voting round for the mayoralty, and thus did not make it to the second round. Berry won a seat, but resigned three days later to hand it to Zoë Garbett, who had come fourth in the 2024 London mayoral election, for which she was criticised.
