Rebecca Long-Bailey (born 1979)[1] is a British Labour Party politician and has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Salford and Eccles since May 2015.[2]

Early life

Rebecca Long-Bailey was born in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester to Irish parents.[3] Her father, Jimmy, was a Salford docker and a trade union representative at Shell, Barton Docks.[1]

Career

She worked as a solicitor, specialising in NHS contracts and NHS estates,[1] and was given the backing of the Unite union, Salford’s elected mayor, Ian Stewart, and former Salford council leader, John Merry, when the Labour Party decided to have a woman-only shortlist after Hazel Blears decided to stand down.[3]

Rebecca Long-Bailey was one of 36 Labour MPs to nominate Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate in the Labour leadership election of 2015.[4] In a controversial move after winning the leadership of the party, Corbyn replaced Hilary Benn on Labour's NEC with Long-Bailey.[5]
