Claudia Naomi Webbe (born 8 March 1965)[1] is a British politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Leicester East. She was elected to Parliament as a Labour MP in 2019, and sat as an Independent until 2024.
Born in Leicester, Webbe was a councillor in the London Borough of Islington from 2010 until her resignation in March 2021, having served as its cabinet member for environment and transport. She was a member of the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party from 2016 until her election to Parliament. Webbe is the first female MP for Leicester East.
She was suspended from the party whip in September 2020 after being charged with harassment of a woman who was having an affair with her then-partner.[2] She was later expelled from the Labour Party on 3 November 2021 after being convicted in October 2021. Her appeal was partially dismissed on 26 May 2022, though her sentence was reduced to eighty hours of community service, and compensation to the victim reduced from £1,000 to £50.[3] As Webbe's reduced sentence was not custodial, it did not trigger a constituency recall petition under the Recall of MPs Act 2015.
