What Caroline Lucas has to say about Natalie Bennett's nightmare interview

At the end of the week in which her party leader, Natalie Bennett, had a public meltdown in an interview with LBC radio, Green party MP Caroline Lucas spoke to Cole Moreton in the Independent on Sunday about her reaction.

“All of us can have a bad day,” says Lucas, who won Brighton Pavilion at the last election and became the party’s first MP. She used to be leader but handed over to Natalie Bennett, who gave one of the worst political interviews of all time on Tuesday.

She undoubtedly had a bad day. It was excruciatingly embarrassing. She should have been on top of the figures and wasn’t, but we are human. These things do happen.
