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 โ€“ 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."
