The newest MP in the House of Commons delivered her maiden speech yesterday following her by-election win: Hannah Spencer (@TheGreenParty, Gorton and Denton) https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2026-03-12/debates/3C2E769B-B98A-4204-9ECB-9094CD6D79FE/InternationalWomenSDay?highlight=hannah%20spencer#contribution-47B421D1-825A-4038-9818-4D7770B7BC4F

Incidentally, while it took the newest MP a few days to make her maiden speech, ten months have passed since the General Election and the last of the 332 MPs elected last July is still yet to make his maiden speech, despite regular interventions: Independent MP @AdnanHussainMP

The @reformparty_uk recent by-election victor Sarah Pochin delivered her maiden speech yesterday: @SarahForRuncorn (Ref, Runcorn & Helsby) https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025-05-12/debates/2E6FC38B-500B-4F64-BF68-5432536B823C/BorderSecurityAsylumAndImmigrationBill#contribution-035AE50F-BAAC-4F33-ACDA-49BB742E3883
