"I really want to encourage more people from backgrounds like mine to get into a system that has always shut us out."

Hannah Spencer MP: plumber, plasterer, parliamentarian

there were quite a few of us volunteering on this campaign.

It turns out that hope a big vote winner.

Who'd have thought that "Tomorrow can be better" would be a more appealing prospect than "If you don't put us behind the wheel, you'll suffer."

10 years labour failed to capitalise on that.

I haven't been here in quite a while.

This morning, I awoke to hope.

I'd forgotten the sensation.

Thank you Hannah Spencer, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, the campaign organisers and the throngs of exhausted, happy and enthusiastic volunteers.

It was an honour to be involved.

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.

Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

Leading a political party means leading the political conversation - being available and being heard on the platforms people actually use.

Join me every Wednesday on my new podcast: Bold Politics.

The only podcast led by a current party leader in the UK. Link in bio.

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with"

JR then demolishes Farage, ending with

"You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

Plenty of policing of social media not the streets here, and oddly no comment from Wes Streeting...

2/8

When you tweet with Glinner energy....

good point, I should fire something off to no.10 contact

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

These are the wealthy funders who’ve given Reform £5m Nigel Farage says his party is a break from the political establishment. That claim doesn’t match up with its donors

Insane how many wealthy donors are backing them, all with shady backgrounds, but I think the "former BlackRock executive" should be brought up a lot more given NO ONE likes them, especially the far-right.

join usssssssss....

yours sincerely: a transwoman kinda drunk on hope atm.

Welcome to the fold fam. Much love. X

"I'd be delighted to see Wes #Streeting lose his seat.."

That is so delicious I don't think I need to eat the rest of today and it's still the morning.

Honestly, #Zack is everything #UK #politics needs r/n!

let their echo chambner destroy them.

People were still claiming the titanic was unsinkable as it was listing.

The echo chambers of privilege.

This is why empires collapse.

A successful civilisation allows the rise of a privileged class. After a few generations of inherited wealth, they believe the privilege is a right not a privilege and they destroy their cultures rather than support them.

innit? Someone with intelligence and charisma that can talk without being distracted by the media baron "flood the zone with shit" tactics.

Given the constant downs since 2001: esp the b/s that lead to #corbyn labour lofty heights turning into #starmer hard right labour... I was emotionally prepared for #Polanski to lose.

First time I have felt hope about anything in uk politics since foolishly believing in the lib dems 2 decades back

You can tell Labour are doomed because Starmer's squawking on about banning energy drinks for kids, while Zack Polanski is doing the rounds sounding somewhat normal.

Amen Fam.

Always remember that the hard right are the vanguard and centrists the rearguard for authoritarian wealth and power.

Labour need to collapse. Starmer is a war criminal and should be in prison for life alongside blair and many others.

The whole ensemble is amaze. Purple is the best colour FTR.

He should be in prison for life without the possibilty of parole anyway and all his assets and esstate and that of those that directly benefit/inherit from him taken away and given to ~IRqis as compensation.

I hope the evil a-holes panic and disappear without pensions and handshakes.

They turned labout into a hard right simping group for billionaires.

*"how much", not "how little". Stupid brain.

Thank you for being you and having morals and a spine!

I really hope you get this & the greens make serious gains!

I'm trans & pretty scared these days as are my friends. I am looking at getting citizenship elsewhere.

Even Corbyn's party being lukewarm about trans rights shows exactly how little the VAST majority of the uk don't GAF about us.

because the same people funding fascism in the usa own the legacy media.

canb we stop playing that goddamn trak at every LGBTQIA+ event now please? She clearly is no ally!
