Elizabeth Louise Kendall (born 11 June 1971)[1] is a British Labour politician who has served as Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions since 2023, however is currently on medical leave.[2] She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Leicester West since 2010.
Kendall was born in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire, and studied at the University of Cambridge.[3] From 2011 to 2015, she served as Shadow Minister for Care and Older People on the Official Opposition frontbench of Ed Miliband, who invited her to attend meetings of his Shadow Cabinet, although she was not technically a Shadow Cabinet member in this position. Kendall stood in the Labour Party leadership election in September 2015 following the resignation of Ed Miliband, finishing in last place.[4][5] In April 2020, Keir Starmer appointed Kendall Shadow Minister for Social Care on the Official Opposition frontbench.
