Early life
Duffield was born in London, left school at the age of 16,[4] and worked as a teaching assistant[5] before becoming a full-time writer.[6] She is a single mother of two children and had lived in Canterbury for 19 years before standing for election as the city's MP.[7] She was previously Chair of the Canterbury Labour Party and has been an active campaigner for a range of issues, including animal rights and environmental protection.[8]
Career
Duffield was elected to parliament in 2017 defeating Sir Julian Brazier with a majority of 187.[1] She is the first non-Conservative Member of Parliament to represent Canterbury since its reformulation as a single-member constituency in 1885 (as the MP serving from 1910 until 1918, Francis Bennett-Goldney, was an Independent Unionist) and became the first Labour MP to represent the constituency. At the time of the 2017 General Election, Canterbury had been the longest-held constituency of the seventy-one taken, five years longer-held than Mansfield which swang to the Conservative candidate.[9]
