Leaders debate
On 7 June 2024, in a televised election debate on the BBC, Carla Denyer said:
- “Angela Rayner is right. Keir Starmer has changed the Labour Party: he’s changed it into the Conservative Party.”[3]
Background
Interviewed by the New Statesman in May 2022, Carla Denyer said:
- "I never thought I’d be a politician. My degree was in mechanical engineering and I worked in renewable energy for six years, specialising in offshore and onshore wind.
- "But I ultimately decided that I needed to try to change the world faster than one wind turbine at a time, and 'green politics' was the best way for me to do that. I was first elected as a councillor in 2015. But even though it wasn’t the most direct route into politics, I wouldn’t change anything.
- "My engineering background often proves valuable – from interpreting graphs and statistics to asking probing questions and sniffing out greenwashing."[4]
