Elizabeth Louise Kendall (born 1971) is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Leicester West since 2010.
Kendall grew up in Hertfordshire and attended Watford Grammar School for Girls where she was head girl in her final year. She then went up to Queens' College, Cambridge graduating with a first in history in 1993. Unsuccessful in an attempt to become the Labour candidate in Chesterfield for the 2001 general election,[1] she has worked as Director of the Maternity Alliance charity, as a researcher for the King's Fund, as an associate director for health, social care and children’s early years at the IPPR and has been a special adviser to two cabinet ministers,[2] Patricia Hewitt and Harriet Harman.[3]
On 26 May 2010 Kendall posted a picture of the previous day's state opening of parliament on the microblogging website Twitter, in contravention of parliamentary rules.[4] She apologised, saying that she was unaware of the regulations.
She made her maiden speech in the debate "Tackling Poverty in the UK" on 10 June 2010 [5]
