David Williams is a British Labour Party politician serving as Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent North since 2024.
Williams studied at the University of Keele. He was elected to Stoke-on-Trent City Council in 2019, representing Little Chell and Stanfield ward, a role which he continues to undertake whilst serving as a full-time Member of Parliament.
Personal life
Williams co-owns a residential property in Mojácar, Spain which he has listed on his Registered Interests as having "a value over £100,000" and which "provides a rental income of over £10,000 a year."
Parliamentary career
Under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party, Williams stood unsuccessfully in the Stafford constituency in the 2017 general election.
Williams was elected as the Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent North on 4 July 2024.
In September 2024, Williams voted against the Conservative Party's opposition day motion which opposed the government's decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance. Williams was accused of hypocrisy when a tweet he posted in 2017 resurfaced, stating that: "A Labour Government will retain the Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes".
In October 2024, Williams faced heavy criticism from opposition Councillors after he left a full Council meeting of Stoke-on-Trent City Council prior to it voting on a motion to condemn the government's policy to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance.
