About Ben Bradley (politician) in brief
Benjamin David Bradley is a British Conservative Party politician. He has been the Member of Parliament for Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, since the 2017 general election. On 8 January 2018, during Theresa May’s Cabinet reshuffle, Bradley was appointed as Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party for Youth. He resigned his role on 10 July 2018 in protest against May’s strategy in relation to Brexit. Bradley was born on 11 December 1989 in Ripley, Derbyshire, to Chris, a police officer, and Sally Bradley, a public servant. He was privately educated at Derby Grammar School, a selective independent school in Littleover. He studied politics at Nottingham Trent University and graduated with a first-class degree in 2013. After leaving university he worked for four months as a recruitment consultant. He then became campaign manager and constituency office manager for Mark Spencer, Conservative MP for Sherwood. In May 2015 he was elected as Conservative councillor for the Hucknall North Ward on Ashfield District Council in May 2015, taking the newly created third seat for the ward following the approval of new ward boundaries.
In September 2017 he stepped down from his district council seat, and a by-election the following month saw the new Conservative Party candidate defeated by an Independent candidate for the vacant seat. He won Parliamentary Beard of the Year in December 2017, after the seven time former winner, Jeremy Corbyn, was not allowed to stand. Bradley sits on the Education Select Committee conducting Inquiries in to Special Educational Needs amongst other issues, and on the All-party Parliamentary groups for Ending Homelessness, Coalfields, Youth Services and Skills and Employment. He supported the official position of his party and voted for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union in the EU membership referendum on 23 June 2016. Bradley has said that his political motivation can be summarised as ‘that if you’re willing to do the right thing and work hard, you should be rewarded’
