I shall set my stall out and say I have woken up pleased and relived. I like Hannah Spencer and she beat awful Goodwin by a lot. I couldn't even have told you the Lab candidate's name. they ran a very poor campaign. Goodwin's words in defeat about 'Islamists and woke progressives ' are chilling and the Tories are laughable.
This result shows the Labour government now lacks any support in the country and has no mandate for the terrible policies it is pursuing - increasing the benefits bill, raising taxes, weakening our borders and the armed forces.
"Only the Conservatives have the experience, the plans and the team to ensure a stronger economy and a stronger country."
I am not sure Green would have won without Spencer - but Polanski is clearly a far stronger leader than his detractors will admit and has made a huge difference to the Greens.
People do believe in progressive politics . Starmer, take note.
