Chris Curtis is a British Labour Party politician serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Milton Keynes North since 2024.[1][2]

Early life

Curtis is from Milton Keynes. He graduated from the University of Exeter in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Politics.[3]

Career

Curtis is a pollster by profession and worked as a Political Research Manager for YouGov.[4] He was a political researcher for them in 2017.[5] He was also Head of Political Polling at Opinium Research.[6]

In 2022, he alleged his former employer had stopped him from publishing the findings of a survey following a TV debate during the 2017 election campaign.[7] He clarified his position after YouGov founder Nadhim Zahawi was forced to deny he had wielded any influence.[8] Prior to being elected to Parliament, Curtis worked for think tank Labour Together.[9]

In November 2024, Curtis voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which proposes to legalise assisted suicide.[10]
