John Eugene Joseph Dromey[3] (29 September 1948 – 7 January 2022) was a British politician and trade unionist who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Erdington from 2010 until his death in 2022. A member of the Labour Party, he was deputy general secretary of Unite from 2003 to 2010.
Dromey joined the Labour frontbench, under leader Ed Miliband, as Shadow Minister for Housing from 2010 until 2013 when he became Shadow Minister for Policing. He remained in post after Jeremy Corbyn's election as leader until his resignation in June 2016, but returned to the frontbench as Shadow Minister for Labour in October 2016.[4] He was appointed Shadow Minister for Pensions in 2018, and continued to serve in the role under Keir Starmer until 2021, when he joined the shadow Cabinet Office team as Shadow Paymaster General. He was later appointed Shadow Immigration minister in the December reshuffle, serving in the role for a month before his sudden death in January 2022.
Prior to his election to Parliament, he was deputy general secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union and Treasurer of the Labour Party.[5] Dromey was married to long-serving MP Harriet Harman, former deputy Labour Party leader and cabinet minister.
