Ian Lavery (born 6 January 1963) is a British Labour Party politician and former trade union leader from Northumberland who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wansbeck since the May 2010 General Election. Born and raised in Ashington, Lavery began work in the construction industry after leaving school before becoming a mining apprentice.[1] Noted for being the sole apprentice to refuse to work during the UK miners' strike (1984-1985), he gradually rose up the ranks of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and was chosen to succeed Arthur Scargill as NUM President in 2002.[2][3]
Once elected to parliament in 2010, Lavery quickly established himself as a leading voice on the left-wing of the Labour Party[4], and has been a frequent critic of the policies espoused by members of the party's Blairite faction.[5] He served for a time as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Deputy Leader Harriet Harman before resigning in protest of the party's position to raise the pension age.[6] Lavery supported the candidacy of Jeremy Corbyn in both the 2015 and 2016 leadership elections, and was appointed by Corbyn to replace Tom Watson as Labour Party Chair in June 2017.
