Laura Pidcock (born 19 August 1987) has been the Shadow Minister for Labour since 2018 and the Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Durham since the 2017 snap election.
Parliamentary career
Only weeks prior to the 2017 UK general election, Pidcock was selected to stand for Labour in the safe seat of North West Durham, when the previous MP, Pat Glass stood down.
A feminist, she said in her maiden speech, that the Palace of Westminster dated from "a time when my class and my sex would have been denied a place in it, because we are deemed unworthy". Her speech was well-received by many and shared over 200,000 times on social media. On 12 January 2018, she was appointed Shadow Minister for Labour.
