    Belgium? I thought it was Oxford.

    Same tired old **** from the same tired old saddoes.....
    Ah abuse from Andy R, what a suprise. Someone dares to criticise his beloved green communist leader and Andy comes over all white knight, riding to her rescue. Tell me Andy is it true you were part of her bodyguard during the great battle for Brighton when the UAF and SmashEdo bravely took on ten year old facist children?

    Did you really whisk her off to a safe house in Brussels when the UAF and SmashEdo started throwing bottles and plates at children?

    Where does she live Andy? She promised to move to Brighton after being elected, that was two years ago, where does she live Andy in Brighton or in Belgium where here husband and children live?
    You are such bezzy mates with her answering that question once and for all should be easy, where does she live Andy?
    Perhaps the fact that their leader and her husband live the life of the 1% that the Occupy movement were campaigning against has finally sunk in with Green party members and they can see the contradiction between their leader insisting we all need to take a massive reduction in our standards of living in order to save the planet and bring the first world and third worlds living standards onto the same level, whilst she lives the lifestyle of a multi millionaire. Funny how a communist like yourself Andy adores rich people like Caroline."

Caroline Lucas to step down as Green party leader to concentrate on Brighton Pavilion

The country's first ever Green MP is to step down as leader of the party.

Caroline Lucas made history in May 2010 when she won the constituency of Brighton Pavilion at the general election.

Ms Lucas has now confirmed she will not be seeking re-election for another two-year term as the head of the national party when the current reign ends in September.

She said she would concentrate on her "very demanding" role as MP for Brighton Pavilion.

A party spokesman said it was to "broaden opportunities for the range of talent in the party and to raise the profiles of others aspiring to election".

Dr Lucas, who was the party's first ever leader, said: “I look forward to continuing to do all I can in my very demanding role as the MP for Brighton Pavilion, representing and helping my constituents in Brighton and defending them against the Coalition Government’s disastrous economic policies and its refusal to accept its environmental and social responsibilities.

"I will now also be able to work more on the political frontline, putting the Green case for change in Parliament and in all circles of national political debate."

Reporter Tim Ridgway will be talking to Ms Lucas later today. What would you like him to ask her?
