Luisa Manon Porritt (born 23 May 1987) is a British Liberal Democrat politician.
She was elected as a Councillor for Belsize ward in Camden in 2018 and served as the leader of the Liberal Democrats on the council from 2020 to 2022.
She also served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for London from 2019 to 2020.[2][3] and was the party's candidate for the 2021 London mayoral election where she failed to achieve 5% of the vote and lost her deposit.
Porritt ran to become the Liberal Democrat candidate for the parliamentary constituency of Sutton and Cheam for the 2024 general election.[4] However, she did not win the selection, losing to Luke Taylor, who went on to win the seat.[5]
