Hannah Spencer: the Green MP speaking to everyday people’s frustrations Winner of Gorton and Denton byelection was driven into politics by growing gap between super-rich and the β€˜rest of us’

The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.

We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Just one day to go on the month, but let's reflect on three good things that have happened during February

First Andy now Mandy, I'mm not sure about this, I think it sets a dangerous presedence investigating what secret activities people in power get up to that they shouldn't, I mean where will it end?

If Mandelson is a good sport, he'll take the passenger side rear seat and lean back a bit when he's released, as it'll make the photoshopping easier.

I have no doubt that those who trusted Peter Mandelson to do their dirty work can remain fully confident that he is willing to sacrifice himself rather than divulge any embarrassing information to save his skin
