Speaking following the by-election, Corbyn said: “Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on a stunning victory.
“Proud to support a campaign built on hope and humanity.
“Under our new leadership team, Your Party will work constructively with the Greens, because there is only one way we can bring about real change: together.”
