in conference speech to
talk about how Green MPs can change people's lives for the
better:
We don't have to accept a two-party system. We can use our votes.
We can organise. We can build our own movement, and choose what
we want it to look like. We can build something different.
"One vote, in one constituency, out of 650, has forced this
government to change direction.
"We are not stupid. We are not daft. We see our power. And we are
using it."
On her victory in Gorton and Denton
And when I think back to February this year, getting up at 5am,
spending all day at college learning to plaster, then coming
straight back to Gorton and Denton to knock on doors; weekends in
the parks with all of you, surrounded by greyhounds; millions of
steps and thousands of conversations. I know we gave it
everything. All of us. Together.
"And I knew we could win. I could feel it in my bones.
And we're days away from that feeling again. Everything in
Holborn and St Pancras is close. If you can get there this week -
please please do. Help Zack get elected - like he helped so many
of us get elected."
Spencer will talk about how her life has changed
And my life has changed in ways I could never have imagined. It's
been challenging. I can't go anywhere without someone recognising
me. Most interactions are overwhelmingly positive, but some
aren't. And I've seen first hand the damage that lies and
misinformation are doing to our democracy.
"And Parliament is a very strange place. I can feel that it
wasn't built for someone like me. And I truly want to see more
people from backgrounds like mine in there.
"But I try and make the most of every single second.
