We’re delighted to share that our MP, Marie Tidball, has been named Parliamentarian of the Year 2025 by The Spectator.
This award recognises Marie’s tireless work championing fairness, equality, and community – and it’s fantastic to see her commitment to Penistone and Stocksbridge celebrated on the national stage.
Marie said:
I’m utterly blown away to have won the The Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year Award.It is the privilege of my life to represent our communities across Penistone and Stocksbridge in Parliament. I’m so proud to be the first person in 100 years to have grown up in our constituency to go on to represent it as our MP.I only got here because I am a product of the British Dream. My NHS care in Barnsley Hospital, and local state education in Penistone, meant that I was able to go onto fulfil my ambition.I promise I will continue to fight for the values my community taught me growing up – fairness, equality, community – and to put them at the heart of everything I do in Parliament.
