Phil Wilson Biography

Phil Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 31, 1959 in County Durham, County Durham, United Kingdom. Philip Wilson (born 31 May 1959) is a British Labour Party politician. He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield in a by-election that followed the resignation of Tony Blair, former Prime Minister, from the seat. He lost the seat at the 2019 general election to Paul Howell of the Conservative Party.

In 2013, a letter attributed to Conservative MP John Glen accused Wilson of failing to properly declare donations from Hitachi before speaking about the matter in a House of Commons debate. Glen subsequently accepted that Wilson was not at fault and apologised personally to him, saying the letter had been drafted on his behalf and he had not read it before it was issued. In his biography on his personal website, Wilson states that bringing a Hitachi Rail factory project to Newton Aycliffe in his constituency represents his “proudest political achievement so far”.

Wilson has called for a second referendum on Brexit. He said “Before we retreat to the past, people should be given another chance to decide whether that is where they want to end up”. He believes that there were “facts that weren’t put before the British people during the referendum campaign”. Later he supported the proposal to join the European Economic Area to mitigate the perceived disadvantages of Brexit. Wilson’s constituency of Sedgefield voted to Leave the European Union by 59.4%.

Wilson was a Labour Assistant Whip from 2010 to 2015. In 2012, he was elected to the Progress strategy board. In his work for Progress, he was criticised for a blog post that he was accused of plagiarizing.
