Also just looked Hannah Spencer up on LinkedIn…she is a Gas Safe plumber, but she is also heating engineer who installs air source heat pumps, in case anyone was feeling cynical about the contradiction between installing gas boilers and being a Green Party candidate…and now MP.
Meanwhile, #Starmer appears to still be in the death grip of McSweeney’s centre-right cult of #LabourTogether…otherwise reported this morning by Professor Rob Ford as ‘Electoral Valley of Death’:
“I will fight against the extremes in politics on the right and the left, parties who want to tear our country apart.”
Keep on describing the #GreenParty as extreme Left Starmer please do, because their voters absolutely know they are not, they are just sensible people sick of division.

Hannah Spencer's speech.
Good speech.
One criticism: why is it called the Green party? What about the ecosystem and climate emergency? You have to use opportunities like this to level with people.

The best start to a Friday… #GreenParty ‘s Hannah Spencer wins #GortonAndDenton byelection…and pushes #Labour who had had a comfortable majority there into third place.
“Rather than winning narrowly, the [Green party] won 40.7%, enough to put them as much as 12 points ahead of second placed #Reform. It represented as much as a 27.5 point increase on the party’s share in 2024.
Labour, who had not hitherto lost an election in the area since 1931, fell into third place.”
Professor Sir John Curtice
