“Sorry to customers who booked me in,” said former plumber Hannah Spencer as her party won its first ever by-election, “but I’m heading to Westminster.” The Greens’ newest MP has pulled off a remarkable win. With nearly 15,000 votes, she was more than 5,000 ahead of Labour's Angeliki Stogia in what should been a safe seat for the government. Reform UK’s candidate Matt Goodwin came second, with 9,364 votes. For the Greens, this is a historic result.
