Lee Jason Barron[1] is a trade unionist and British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Corby and East Northamptonshire since 2024.[2]

Early life and career

Lee was raised in a working-class family in Far Cotton, Northampton, and went to Delapre Primary School.[3]

Lee left school at 16 to take up an apprenticeship at Royal Mail as a postal worker.[3] He later became the Communication Workers Union’s (CWU) Midlands Regional Secretary.[4]

After Lee’s time working for the CWU, he became the Midlands Regional Secretary for the Trade Union Congress (TUC) representing over 1 million workers.[3][4]

Lee has also been a Northampton magistrate for over 20 years.[3][5]

Political career

Barron is a former Northampton borough councillor and during this time was leader of the local Labour group.[3]

In 2012, Barron was selected as the Labour candidate for the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner election, but stood down after he was caught out by a rule change that made him and many other candidates ineligible.[3][5]

On 4 July 2024, Barron was elected as MP for Corby and East Northamptonshire, turning the incumbent Conservative Tom Pursglove’s 10,268[6] majority into his own 6,331 majority.[7][8][9]

On 11 September 2024, Barron was elected as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Modernising Employment.[10]

Personal life

In a BBC radio debate before his election, Barron said he had always been a “Mod never a Rocker” and rides a "Vespa with 12 mirrors, eight spotlamps and continental whitewall tyres".[11]
