Suzanne Webb (born 4 February 1966) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Stourbridge since the 2019 general election.

Background

Political career

Suzanne Webb worked as a Conservative Party Councillor for Birmingham City Council for many years. She was recently a councillor for the Birmingham Ward of Castle Vale. She became a member of Birmingham City Council on 3 May 2018. Her term of office was due to expire in 2022. She previously stood as a candidate in the 2019 European Parliament (UK) elections for the West Midlands. In 2018, she stood in the Birmingham local elections, as the Conservative Party candidate for the Castle Vale Ward, and in the 2016 Birmingham local elections, as the Conservative candidate for the Sutton Vesey ward.

Views on Brexit

She was adopted as candidate for Stourbridge at the last minute, after Margot James announced that she would not be contesting the 2019 election, due to disagreements with the Stourbridge Conservative Party. This followed Margot James having lost the Conservative whip in September and October 2019 and then regaining it, as a result of her voting on Brexit. In an interview for a local newspaper, she [? who -- ambiguous] described herself as a 'proud Brexiteer'. However she had voted in the 2016 referendum to remain in the EU, as she was then living in Germany.
