Punchy op-ed by @ToniaAntoniazzi here, inviting Hannah Spencer to Strangers’ for a drink in Parliament. I'm not sure she'll accept... 'I’m offering Hannah the chance to get to know some of the 645 non-Green parliamentary colleagues she just threw under the bus', the Labour MP writes: politicshome.com/opinion/articl…
"You can smell the alcohol when people are in between votes." Green MP Hannah Spencer tells us what Westminster is REALLY like. The full interview is live on YouTube, and as a podcast here: linktr.ee/howtorebuildbr…

Keir Starmer to Labour MPs “Politics is changing, and it's changing decisively. But I believe, and continue to believe, that there is a mainstream majority in this country who neither want Nigel Farage or Zack Polanski as their Prime Minister.” According to his spokes, the Prime Minister said that under his leadership Labour is delivering “progressive change” with “moral purpose”. “Our task is to ensure Labour is the vehicle for the modern progressive Britain that we all believe in,” he continued. “There’s no doubt about the generational change that is already happening.” So is this a slogan that could work for Starmer: “progressive change with moral purpose”? And what is the Venn diagram of “progressive change” and “moral purpose”?

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚
The Vice Chancellor of Bangor University is paid £287,000 a year, and the university employs 32 people on more than £100k. All to indoctrinate their students so much they ban an MP from the party leading national polls from speaking at a debate. Why should taxpayers fund this?
