Adrian Ramsay

Adrian Philip Ramsay (born August 1981)[1] is a British politician who has served as co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales since 2021 and as the Member of Parliament for Waveney Valley since 2024.

[15] In 2009 he made a speech at the party's conference calling for the end private finance initiative agreements in the NHS.

[17][18] On 16 August 2021, Ramsay announced his candidacy for co-leader of the Green Party alongside the Bristol councillor Carla Denyer.

The party's leader, Caroline Lucas, cited him as one of the Green candidates with the greatest chance of winning.

[26][27] He co-organised Lucas's campaign in Brighton Pavilion which saw her elected as the UK's first Green Member of Parliament (MP).

Nationally, Labour formed a majority government with Keir Starmer taking office as Prime Minister.

Shortly after assuming office, Ramsay voiced opposition to plans by the new government to build a 100-mile corridor of pylons to connect his Suffolk constituency to offshore wind power.

[30] This led to allegations of NIMBYism, including from the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband.

[33] He returned to Norfolk in 2019 and took up the post of chief executive of the MCS Charitable Foundation, a charity working towards carbon-free UK homes,[34] from which he resigned on election to Parliament in July 2024.
