Born to a stonemason and nursery nurse in Sheffield, Davison grew up on a council estate, and attended Sheffield High School on a scholarship. She studied British Politics and Legislative Studies at the University of Hull, where she was an NUS delegate, and successfully led a campaign to disaffiliate the university's student union in 2016.
Davison was elected as MP for Bishop Auckland in the 2019 general election. She was the Conservative candidate for Kingston upon Hull North and Sedgefield in the 2015 and 2017 general elections respectively. Davison is the first Conservative to represent the constituency since its creation in 1885. The seat had previously been held by Labour for 84 years. After her election, she was considered a "rising star" in the party, and an example of a Conservative representing a red wall constituency. However, in 2022 she announced that she would not stand for the next general election. She supported Liz Truss in her successful campaign to become Prime Minister in September 2022 and subsequently became Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Levelling Up, a role she retained under Rishi Sunak.
Early life and education
Dehenna Sheridan Davison[2] was born on 27 July 1993[3][4] in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, where she grew up on a council estate.[5][6][7] Her father, Dominic, was a stonemason, and her mother, Nicola, was a nursery nurse.[8] Davison attended Sheffield High School, a private school on a scholarship sponsored by the bank HSBC.[9] When she was 13 years old, her father was attacked and killed. His assailant was acquitted of manslaughter but served 18 months in jail for a separate assault charge.[8] Three years later, she represented the family at a criminal injuries compensation tribunal and has commented in interviews that the experience fostered her interest in politics.[10]
Davison studied British Politics and Legislative Studies at the University of Hull. During her time at the university, she spent a year working as a parliamentary aide for Jacob Rees-Mogg, the MP for North East Somerset.[11][12] Davison was also a NUS delegate and played for the university's lacrosse team.[13][14] She led a successful campaign to disaffiliate the university's student union from the NUS in 2016.[15][16] In the same year, Davison was the Conservative candidate for the Kings Park ward in the Hull City Council election, where she finished last.[17] In 2018, she again contested and finished fifth in the Kingswood ward.[18]
In her late teens and early twenties, while she was a student, Davison had a variety of jobs, including working in a video games retailer, a casino, a betting shop, and a branch of Pizza Hut.[10][19][20] Prior to becoming an MP, Davison was a research and development analyst for LUMO, a company that advises businesses on tax credits.[21]
She was elected as MP for Bishop Auckland at the 2019 general election, with a majority of 7,962 (17.8%) on a swing of 9.5% from Labour to the Conservatives.[26] Davison was the first Conservative MP for the constituency since its creation in 1885.[27] The seat had been represented by a Labour MP since 1935.[28][29] Her campaign focused on promises on Brexit, and reopening Bishop Auckland Hospital's emergency department, which had been closed in 2009.[27][30] Since her election, she was considered a "rising star" in the party and a prominent Conservative representing a red wall constituency.[31][32] She made her maiden speech on 16 January 2020.[33] In that month, she voiced her support for scrapping the planned high-speed railway project HS2, and re-investing the money into local transport schemes.[34]
On 14 February 2020, it was reported that Davison had been photographed with two far-right activists at a party to celebrate Brexit on 31 January in her constituency. In response, Davison distanced herself from the views of the two men, stating, "These photos were taken at an event open to the public and I in no way whatsoever condone the views highlighted of the individuals concerned."[35][36][37]
In September 2020, Davison was criticised by her own party after she mocked then Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard for having an English accent and suggested that this was the reason for Labour's decline in support in Scotland. A spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives said that: "This criticism is unacceptable. It plays into the kind of divisive politics that the SNP promote."[43][44]
In February 2021, Davison created the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for One-Punch Assaults and served as its chair till September 2022. Her father died of a one-punch assault when she was 13 years old.[45][46]
Davison was a co-host of The Political Correction on GB News on Sunday mornings between June 2021 and September 2022.[49]
Davison abstained on the vote for the Health and Social Care Levy in September 2021. The levy increased National Insurance Contributions paid by employees and employers by 1.25% between April 2022 and 2023 before becoming a separate tax from then on.[50][51] She was also one of 99 Conservative MPs to vote against the introduction of Covid passes in England in December 2021.[52][53] In early 2022, she voiced her support for the reform of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 to include self-identification,[23] and a conversion therapy ban to include transgender people.[54][55]
On 25 November 2022, Davison announced that she would not seek re-election as an MP at the next general election citing the need to have a "life outside of politics" and support her family.[62] On 18 September 2023, she resigned as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Levelling Up due to chronic migraine.[63][64] In March 2024, she obtained the first parliamentary debate about migraines since the 1960s and called her experiences with migraines as "life-ruining".[65] She and representatives of the National Migraine Centre and the Migraine Trust requested the government meet with them to improve migraine treatment and said many people with chronic migraines are experiencing "excruciating pain".[65]
Personal life
Davison married Hull City councillor John Fareham, who is 35 years her senior, in 2018 (when Fareham was 59 and Davison was 24).[7][10][66][67] The couple appeared together on the Channel 4 documentary series Bride and Prejudice, which showed their wedding at the Guildhall, Kingston upon Hull.[68][69][70] They separated before the 2019 general election.[7]
Davison came out as bisexual in 2021, and was the first openly bisexual female Conservative MP.[71][72]
Since 2022, she has been in a relationship with diplomat Tony Kay, the head of the Arabian Peninsula department at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.[23][73][74] Kay is to become the deputy British Ambassador to Brazil in the summer of 2024 and Davison had spoken about joining him there when her term as MP ended.[75][76]
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2019, Davison discussed her personal experience of depression and suicidal ideation while working in London as a parliamentary aide, after her grandmother had been diagnosed with, and subsequently died of lung cancer. She has also been open about her past use of antidepressants.[78][79]
Awards
In November 2023, Davison was named to the BBC's 100 Women list, which features 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world.[80]
