Spencer was a supporter of the Labour Party, for which he stood in Gillingham at the 1922 United Kingdom general election. He took second place, with 41.9% of the vote, and although he stood again in 1923 and 1924, his share of the vote fell back. He was concerned that there was no Labour organisation in the neighbouring Canterbury constituency, and in 1928 he was elected as the first president of a new Constituency Labour Party in the seat. At the 1929 United Kingdom general election, Spencer stood in Bournemouth, taking last place with only 15.9% of the vote. Spencer held membership of the 1917 Club and the Fabian Society.
