Luciana has spent the last fifteen years at the forefront of successfully campaigning to achieve real equality for how mental health is discussed, considered and treated in England. Beyond being the first ever Cabinet secretary for Mental health, Luciana has led many efforts including the #wheresyourheadat campaign, which sought to expand employer responsibility to include mental health first aiders. Luciana successfully changed the Financial Guidance and Claims Bill to introduce a ‘breathing space’ for those in a mental health crisis who are struggling with serious debt. Today, Luciana continues this work through chairing the Maternal Mental Health Alliance; as an advisory board member of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute; and Vice-President of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Six years into her parliamentary career, Luciana was elected as the parliamentary chair of the Jewish Labour Movement. She held that role until early 2019, when Luciana left the Labour party that had been her political home for 20 years, identifying it as 'institutionally racist'. Luciana charts her long and painful journey trying to counter Antisemitism from within the Labour Party and what happened to lead her to eventually leave, just 2 weeks before she had her second child Zion. Luciana returned to the Labour Party in 2023 after it had been turned around under the new leadership of Sir Keir Starmer. 

Baroness Berger spent almost a decade at the forefront of British politics as the Member of Parliament for Liverpool Wavertree. During that time she served in a number of positions in the shadow cabinet and saw the best and worst of what British politics has to offer. In March 2025, Luciana was elevated to the House of Lords and in the time since has made history through her work on the Assisted Dying legislation whilst gaining insights into a different mode of Government. 

Elected at the age of 28, and serving as the youngest member of the front bench in the 2010 - 2015 Parliament, Luciana offers a unique perspective of a woman’s journey in the British Parliament, which still today is just 40% female. Luciana reflects on her decade serving in the House of Commons - the highs and lows of representing constituents and trying to affect change (often successfully) from Opposition.

Between 2010 and 2013, Baroness Berger served as the Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate change and has remained dedicated to the cause ever since. Luciana has recently taken up the mantle as the chair of the newly formed Energy Storage Association UK, focusing on storage as they key to a more sustainable and renewable energy future.
