She's a Green and she is a plumber. What's not to like! 💚

Hannah Spencer won a special parliamentary election in England today a big boost for the Green party and a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose center-left Labour Party was relegated to third place.

The broader meaning of this result is hard to miss. The Conservative–Labour dominance that has defined British politics since the post‑war era looks increasingly fragile.

Gorton and Denton’s new rep has railed against “posh boys” in Westminster — and shows the Greens leaning into cost-of-living messaging.
