Gloria De Piero (born 21 December 1972) was first elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashfield in 2010.
After serving as a shadow minister from October 2010, De Piero was promoted to the shadow cabinet in 2013 as Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. In 2015 she was appointed Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration, but resigned the position on 26 June 2016.
Parliamentary career
In February 2010, De Piero resigned from GMTV to seek selection as the Labour Party's candidate for the Ashfield constituency in the 2010 general election. The candidacy became vacant following the announcement that the constituency's Labour MP, former Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, would be stepping down at the election. On 20 March 2010, De Piero was selected by the local Labour Party as its candidate.
De Piero was elected by a narrow margin to the seat with a majority of 192 votes (compared to 10,213 in 2005) after a 17.2% swing to the Liberal Democrats' Jason Zadrozny – the second largest such swing in the 2010 election. At the 2015 general election, De Piero held Ashfield with an increased majority of 8,820 and the Liberal Democrats pushed into fourth place, but her majority fell to 441 in the 2017 general election.
Shadow minister
In October 2010, Labour leader Ed Miliband appointed De Piero as a shadow culture minister. In the 2011 reshuffle, De Piero became Shadow Minister for Crime Prevention, and in 2013, she was promoted to the shadow cabinet as Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities.
In 2015, De Piero was elected to the Labour Party's Conference Arrangements Committee with 109,888 votes, a high margin above unsuccessful candidates. In new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's first shadow cabinet, De Piero was made Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration, a new shadow cabinet-level role.
On 3 July 2017, De Piero accepted a place in Jeremy Corbyn's shadow front-bench team as Shadow Justice Minister.
