For those of you would like to read Hannah Spencer's *entire* address to the Press Conference after her win in the Gorton & Denton by-election (rather than badly recorded edited high-lights as seen on the news), here is the transcript.

Nobody wants #Labour to be #Tory or #Reform Lite.
The Labour Party that supported working people, women, disabled and ethnic minorities has been lost to the cynically named centre right cult of #LabourTogether…and don’t think just because Morgan McSweeney has gone its been swept away.
It lives on in key Cabinet figures such as Steve Reed, Shabana Mahmood, Lisa Nandy and Wes Streeting…and even in Starmer himself, in as much as much as he aligns with any ideology.
It’s a gift to #Greens.
As new #Green MP #HannahSpencer has just stated #gortonanddenton was 127th on the Greens list of target seats.
That means there are 126 seats where the Greens could win on a smaller swing.
But we won’t have to wait until the next byelection to see the newly invigorated Green Party roar…local elections are now back on in just a few short weeks time.
Just watch this Green momentum build.
