Kerry McCarthy

MP for Bristol East

www.kerrymccarthy.org/

I am the Labour MP for Bristol East and have been serving as the Minister for Climate in the Department for Energy, Security, and Net Zero since July 2024. I’ll have been vegan for 34 years on 1 January 2025; a rare example of making a New Year’s Resolution and sticking to it! I’ve spoken frequently in Parliament about the links between our food system and the environment, and I’m pleased that these arguments – for which I was once roundly ridiculed – are now gaining common currency.
