Hannah Spencer Challenges Westminster

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Hannah Spencer, Labour’s new MP for Gorton and Denton, celebrates her first 100 days in Parliament — shaking up Westminster with blunt honesty, challenging the drinking culture in the Commons, and proudly bringing her tradesperson roots to the fore. Despite jeers from colleagues and a minister’s awkward comment about her “rough hands,” she’s winning public support, with polls backing her call for change. She’s also calling out Reform UK’s plumber candidate Rob Kenyon for controversial remarks, while applauding Green MP Sarah Wakefield for speaking truth to power. Spencer sees Labour’s current turmoil — especially amid costly by-elections — as a distraction from urgent issues like child poverty, and says she wouldn’t trade a single moment of her unexpected, bold first term.
