The 34-year-old plumber currently leads the Greens on Trafford Council, where she has represented the Hale ward since May 2023.

Earlier this week, the Green Party confirmed Polanski, who was born and grew up in Greater Manchester, would not be standing in the seat.

Spencer, who stood in the 2024 Greater Manchester mayoral election, said: "I work as a plumber, something I've done since leaving education at 16. I'm training to become a plasterer too.

"I've lived in the constituency and still work here. So, I know the issues and what people want to change."

She added: "This is a crucial by-election. The choice is clear – Green v Reform. Hope v hate."

Her party's leader Zack Polanski said: "The Houses of Parliament. Leaky roofs, crumbling walls. I think they need a plumber and a plasterer and we've got someone who can do both."

Great messaging! Stops the far right twats from using the "I'm not just a suit, like all the other parties" line of attack as well
