Green MP Hannah Spencer criticises Labour over greyhound racing comments

Green MP Hannah Spencer accused Labour minister Lisa Nandy of 'continuously offending people' by saying working-class people 'don't care about dogs or each other' during a debate over greyhound racing. Spencer, who won the Gorton and Denton by-election in February and owns four rescue greyhounds, called Nandy's comment 'a caricature' and 'very offensive'. Spencer said working-class people are 'fed up with gambling companies being able to wreak havoc in people’s lives', framing her defence of greyhound tracks around concerns about gambling harm.
