The Greens WILL Beat Labour w/ Hannah Spencer and Faiza Shaheen

Author: Novara Media March 30, 2026 Duration: 40:26

To mark the launch of our new podcast series, Death in Westminster, host Dalia Gebrial sat down with Hannah Spencer, the new MP for Gorton and Denton, and Faiza Shaheen, the director of Tax Justice UK, at EartH in Hackney.

They talked about Hannah’s landslide victory, her first few weeks in Parliament, and what a wealth tax would actually look like. What approach did Faiza and Hannah take with Reform voters when they went canvassing? What lessons should progressives learn from past failures? And what are the conspiracy theories swirling about Hannah online?

Listen to Death in Westminster, hosted by Dalia and Kojo Koram, in the Novara Media podcast feed.
