David Williams is a British Labour Party politician serving as Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent North since 2024.[1]

Williams studied at the University of Keele.[2] He was elected to Stoke-on-Trent City Council in 2019, representing Little Chell and Stanfield ward, a role which he continues to undertake whilst serving as a full-time Member of Parliament.[3]

Personal life

Williams co-owns a residential property in Mojácar, Spain which he has listed on his Registered Interests as having "a value over £100,000" and which "provides a rental income of over £10,000 a year."[4]

Political career

Williams supported Remain in the 2016 European Union referendum, tweeting "If London and the South doesn't leap to the rescue this vote is looking like Brexit. We will see. :-("[5] When this resurfaced during the 2024 general election campaign, Williams was criticised[6] for having backed a position at odds with the Stoke-on-Trent North electorate, 73% of whom voted to Leave the European Union.[7]

Under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party, Williams stood unsuccessfully in the Stafford constituency in the 2017 general election.[8]

Williams was elected as the Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent North on 4 July 2024.[1]

In September 2024, Williams voted against the Conservative Party's opposition day motion which opposed the government's decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance.[9][10] Williams was accused of hypocrisy[11] when a tweet he posted in 2017 resurfaced, stating that: "A Labour Government will retain the Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes".[12]

In October 2024, Williams faced heavy criticism from opposition Councillors after he left a full Council meeting of Stoke-on-Trent City Council prior to it voting on a motion to condemn the government's policy to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance.[13]

In December 2024, Williams asked a question at a Treasury question time session in the House of Commons Chamber, stating that "many historic buildings that are lying dormant" in his constituency, failing to mention any of the buildings by name.[14]
