Gloria De Piero
Gloria De Piero (born 21 December 1972) is a British broadcaster and former Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashfield from 2010 to 2019.De Piero was appointed to the opposition front bench in 2010, and served in the shadow cabinets of Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn between 2013 and 2016.His mental health meant that he could not continue to work, and De Piero's mother gave up her job to look after him, and the family lived on benefits.[5] Following the 1997 general election which resulted in the Labour Party winning in a landslide, De Piero applied for several government positions including as a special adviser, parliamentary researcher, and at left-wing think tanks, but failed to gain employment.[14] In February 2010, De Piero resigned as GMTV's political editor to seek selection as the Labour candidate for the Ashfield constituency in the 2010 general election.[9] The candidacy became vacant following the announcement that the constituency's Labour MP, former Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, would be stepping down at the election.[3][21] In October 2010, Labour leader Ed Miliband appointed De Piero as a shadow culture minister.[30] She resigned her shadow cabinet position on 26 June 2016, among dozens of her colleagues, believing Corbyn could not lead the party to a general election victory.
