Siân Berry has announced she will be leaving the Green Party’s leadership this autumn over divisions in the party about trans rights.
Berry, who has been the party’s co-leader in England and Wales since 2018, published a letter on Twitter on Wednesday, addressed to party members, saying that she will not stand as a candidate in its upcoming leadership by-election.
“There is now an inconsistency between the sincere promise to fight for trans rights and inclusion in my work and the message sent by the party’s choice of front bench representatives,” she explained in the letter, which said she felt “sorrow” over this.
