Shâo-Lan Yuen

Shâo-Lan Yuen

Green Party candidate for Clapham Common & Abbeville

Green Party

Shao-Lan has lived in Lambeth since 2012, been a local government officer since 2017 and ran as local councillor in 2022. She has had a varied career in education and public service, including in the Galapagos Islands and helping refugees and asylum seekers to find English classes. She’s vegan, a yogi and a family celebrant who loves salsa dancing. She is appalled by the atrocities and inhumanity we’ve witnessed in Palestine. Starmer and Sunak have both failed by refusing to call out war crimes. Shao-Lan says: “I’m a Green because of the party’s progressive policies and bold stance on social justice”
