Newly-elected Gorton and Denton MP Hannah Spencer apologised to her customers in her victory speech following the Green Party's historic win in Thursday's (27 February) by-election.
The plumber-turned-parliamentarian, 34, became the party's youngest MP after securing 14,980 votes and overturning Labour's majority.
Ms Spencer lives in Trafford and in her work as a plumber retrofitted houses to make them more energy efficient.
In a message to her clients, she said: “Now, to my customers, I’m sorry, but I think I might have to cancel the work that you have booked in, because I’m heading to Parliament.
“And when I get there, I will make space for everyone doing jobs like mine.
“We will finally get a seat at the table.”
