Laura Pidcock

Laura Pidcock is a British Labour Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Durham from 2017 until 2019. She was the Shadow Secretary of State for Employment Rights in Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet. In the 2019 parliamentary election, she lost her seat to the Conservative Richard Holden, who won the constituency with a majority of 1,144. The majority represented a decrease of over 13% of the Labour vote and was significant in being part of the fall of the safe 'Red Wall' seats with this constituency having been held by the Labour Party for over 40 years.
