Stephen Twigg

Stephen Twigg (born December 25, 1966) is a British politician and member of Parliament for Enfield Southgate for the Labour Party.

He was the first (out) gay president of the National Union of Students in 1990, and was a councillor in the London Borough of Islington, nearly becoming leader.

He was elected to Parliament for Enfield Southgate, traditionally a safe Tory seat, in the 1997 election. There was a massive 17.8% swing to him from his Conservative opponent Michael Portillo. In the 2001 election he held the seat with an increased majority.
