Jacqui Smith is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on November 3, 1962 in Malvern, United Kingdom. Jacqueline Jill Smith (born 3 November 1962) is a British Labour politician. She was the Member of Parliament for Redditch from 1997 until 2010, the first female Home Secretary and the third woman to hold one of the Great Offices of State, after Margaret Thatcher (Prime Minister) and Margaret Beckett (Foreign Secretary).

Smith entered the Government in July 1999, as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Education and Employment, working with the Minister for School Standards Estelle Morris. She then became a Minister of State at the Department of Health following the 2001 general election. She was appointed as the Government’s deputy Minister for Women in 2003, working alongside Secretary of State Patricia Hewitt. In this role she published the Government’s proposals for Civil Partnerships, a system designed to offer same-sex couples an opportunity to gain legal recognition for their relationship with an associated set of rights and responsibilities.

Jacqui Smith was born in Malvern, Worcestershire. She attended Dyson Perrins High School in Malvern. Her parents were teachers, and both Labour councillors, although her mother briefly joined the SDP. Her local MP, Conservative backbencher Michael Spicer, recalled in Parliament in 2003 how he had first met her when he addressed the sixth form at The Chase School, where her mother was a teacher; he joked: “So great was my eloquence that she immediately rushed off and joined the Labour Party.” Smith read PPE at Hertford College, Oxford, and gained a PGCE from Worcester College of Higher Education.

Following the 2005 general election, Smith was appointed to serve as the Minister of State for Schools in the Department for Education and Skills, replacing Stephen Twigg who had lost his seat. Teacher trade union sources stated that Smith “talked to us on our level”.

Having failed to be elected as a Labour MP for the safe Conservative seat of Mid Worcestershire in 1992, despite achieving a 4.9% swing, Smith was selected through an all-women shortlist in the 1997 general election as the Labour candidate for Redditch.

She was replaced by Alan Johnson. In a subsequent interview with Total Politics magazine regarding her time as Home Secretary, Smith described how she felt under-qualified for her Ministerial roles, adding “when I became home secretary, I’d never run a major organisation. I hope I did a good job. But if I did, it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills. I think we should have been better trained. I think there should have been more induction.” Smith’s major achievements as Home Secretary were introduction of tougher prostitution laws, a reduction in crime rates and promotion of Police Community Support Officers. Journalist Andrew Pierce echoed Smith’s comments about her unsuitability for the position as Home Secretary, going further by stating: “Smith, beset by gaffes and errors, was hopelessly out of her depth in one of the most demanding jobs in politics”.
