Simon Reevell Biography

Simon Reevell is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 2, 1966 in West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. Simon Justin Reevell (born 2 March 1966) is a British barrister and Conservative Party politician. He was the Member of the Parliament (MP) in the constituency of Dewsbury within West Yorkshire during one parliament and lost his seat in the election in 2015.

Reevell was born in Yorkshire and was raised within Yorkshire, specifically the West Riding of Yorkshire. After having attended Manchester Polytechnic and obtaining a degree in Economics He enrolled in an army career as an infantry officer but his time was cut short due to an injury. In the aftermath, he decided to become barrister, and represented soldiers before courts-martial. One instance, where Reevell determined his clients that the TA were sent to Iraq with no proper training, made him do all that he could to alter the current Labour government. This eventually was the reason he decided for election as the Conservative member of parliament for Dewsbury in the general election.

In 2014 it was revealed that Reevell was, after the speaker of the house of commons John Bercow, the most long-winded speaker in parliament, contributing an average of 460 words every time he speaks. Reevell said: “You get a lot of MPs who say things like ‘does my honourable friend agree that tomorrow is Thursday? I don’t do that. When I contribute to a debate it’s an actual speech in which I make serious points.”

In March 2015 Reevell announced he had received a letter from “the Scholars of Dewsbury” complaining that the 2015 Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill “seeks to alienate… the Muslim community” and is for “party political gain”. Reevell hit back stating that such claims were “irresponsible” and “wrong”. He went on to say that; “The UK faces an unprecedented threat from people going to Syria to join ISIS and then returning to the UK intending to kill. The purpose of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill is to stop this. The Bill may impact most on young British Muslims. Young British Catholics, Anglicans and atheists have not swelled the ranks of ISIS. Those who have left the UK and gloat on social media about jihad purport to be Muslims. But to criticise the Bill for being somehow anti-Muslim is to conflate two separate matters.” He also went on to say that; “Your group appears to lack any appreciation of the fact that an absence of credible, relevant leadership within the Muslim community in the UK has contributed significantly to the opportunity for radicalisation amongst this minority of young people.” Reevell emphasised to the group that; “Rather than moaning about the potential effects of the Bill, ask what you can do to make the provisions of the Bill unnecessary. If community leaders cannot prevent the flow of those who want to kill, this legislation will do it for them.” He also mentioned that; “The Bill was proposed by the Coalition Government and supported by the Labour Party. It has all-party support. At both the Second and Third Readings there was not even a call for a vote.” He went on to comment that the groups claims that Muslims do not have the same ‘level of protection in law as other sections of society’ is “wrong”. and that; “For it to be advanced on behalf of a group that refers to its members as scholars is beyond disappointing.”

Reevell was again elected by his Conservative Party in Dewsbury at the general election in 2015.

As a result of the Gaza aid envoy crisis, Reevell stated that many friends and fellow Tory MP’s were unable to comprehend the extent of the anger of Muslim voters over the crisis saying “When the Gaza aid convoy crisis was happening [in 2010], a colleague came to me and commented on how quiet a week it had been,” the man stated. “Meanwhile, I was getting bombarded with emails about it.”

Reevell was elected as a representative of his Conservative Party in Dewsbury at the general election in 2010. The seat was won by him over Labour with a tiny majority of just 1,526 (2.8 percent) that resulted in an 7.8 percentage swing for Conservatives. Conservatives over Shahid Malik. This is the first time that the seat of Dewsbury was taken by the Conservative MP since John Whitfield in the 1983 general election. Reevell only the 2nd Conservative Member since 1922, to be elected to the seat.

When Kirklees Council announced in 2014 that they were considering closing all of the districts libraries except for Huddersfield and Dewsbury Reevell said; “the situation was a result of under-performance by the council” and that “Any properly run organisation would not be talking about a nuclear option. Any properly run organisation would have planned, evaluated and prioritised. It is short-term thinking. Lots of local authorities are being asked to save a lot of money.” In response the Labour leader of Kirklees Council hit back stating that “We wouldn’t be talking about a nuclear option if we didn’t have £140 million cut from our budget every year.” He said that cuts on a national level left councils with no choice but to slash services.
