Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, will release a book about her experiences of parliament before next year's general election.

Max Porter, senior editor at Portobello, said the publisher was looking forward to releasing Ms Lucas's story.
He said: 'Caroline Lucas is a radical, inspiring and trustworthy politician of singular energy and integrity.
'No Honourable Friends will combine insights into the working life an MP with a much-needed critique of the way we are governed.
