He is also the Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and Shadow Lord Chancellor. Burgon studied English Literature at St John's College, Cambridge, where he was chair of Cambridge University Labour Club. After working as a trade union lawyer, he was elected as the MP for Leeds East at the 2015 general election. He was appointed as Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury (City Minister) in September 2015 by new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Burgon was promoted to Shadow Justice Secretary in June 2016 following the organised mass resignations in protest against the leadership of Corbyn. Early life and educationBurgon was educated at Cardinal Heenan Roman Catholic High School in Leeds. As this school did not have a sixth form, he moved onto St Aidan's and St John Fisher Associated Sixth Form in Harrogate[1] to complete his A-Levels. He then studied English Literature at St John's College, Cambridge. He was chair of Cambridge University Labour Club.[2] He is the nephew of the former Labour MP Colin Burgon,[2] and stood at the age of 23 as one of the Labour candidates for the Wetherby ward on Leeds City Council in 2004. He is a fan of heavy metal music.[3] CareerBurgon qualified as a solicitor in 2006,[4] and was a trade union lawyer before being elected as the MP for Leeds East at the 2015 general election.[5][6] Standing on the floor of the House of Commons in May 2015 he prefaced his mandatory oath of allegiance to Elizabeth II by expressing his support for constitutional change for an elected head of state: "As someone that believes that the head of state should be elected I make this oath in order to serve my constituents".[7] He was one of 36 Labour MPs to nominate Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate in the Labour leadership election of 2015.[8] Corbyn appointed him as shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury. In an October 2015 Channel 4 News interview, Burgon admitted that despite being Shadow Economic Secretary[9] to the Treasury for over a month he was still yet to meet anyone from the city of London's finance and banking industry, nor could he predict the UK budget deficit for 2015.[10][11] Burgon was promoted to Shadow Justice Secretary on 27 June 2016 following following the organised mass resignations in protest against the leadership of Corbyn.[12] In September 2017, the political commentator Iain Dale listed Burgon at Number 86 in 'The 100 Most Influential People on the Left', writing: "Described by some as Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘Comical Ali’ Burgon is certainly a true believer."[13] Burgon is secretary of the GMB Parliamentary Group. In this lobbying role for the GMB he helps to make sure issues that matter to GMB members are raised in the House of Commons. ViewsBurgon is regarded as being on the left within the Labour Party[14] and has taken part in People's Assembly Against Austerity protests.[15] He has opposed military intervention and the bombing of Syria following the November 2015 Paris attacks by ISIS militants.[16] Burgon believes cuts to legal aid are a false economy and deny people justice. Burgon said, "A lack of early legal advice can create unnecessary costs for the taxpayer as legal problems go to court when they could have been resolved earlier or spiral into costly social problems as people lose their homes or jobs. These figures highlight the grim reality of a justice system in crisis. These legal aid cuts have deliberately weakened people's ability to challenge injustices and enforce their rights."[17] Libel caseOn 6 February 2019, Burgon won a libel case against The Sun newspaper after it falsely claimed that he 'delighted' in Nazi imagery.[18] Burgon was awarded damages of £30,000, which he claimed would be spent supporting an apprenticeship in Leeds.[19] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=|title=March 2016 Newsletter|url=http://sjfchs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/March-2016-Newsletter_smallLayout-1.pdf|publisher=St John Fisher School|accessdate=16 September 2016}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://next.ft.com/content/86d7276a-f5a6-11e5-803c-d27c7117d132|title=Jeremy Corbyn’s reluctant man in the City - FT.com|last=Pickard|first=Jim|date=16 May 2016|work=Financial Times|accessdate=27 June 2016|subscription=yes}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/article/neveyk/the-big-richard-burgon-mp-interview-metal-madball|title=We Interviewed the Biggest Metalhead in British Politics|date=13 July 2017|accessdate=12 January 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/person/217389/richard-burgon|title=Richard Burgon - The Law Society|work=Find a Solicitor|publisher=The Law Society|accessdate=7 July 2017}} 5. ^Simmons, Richard, Meet the lawyers standing for Parliament, Lawyer 2B, 10 April 2015 6. ^{{cite web|title=Parliamentary General Election results [Leeds East, 2015]|url=http://www.leeds.gov.uk/council/Pages/parliamentary-general-election-results.aspx?ward=Leeds%20East|publisher=Leeds City Council|accessdate=8 May 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Labour MP Richard Burgon Calls For End Of Monarchy Before Swearing Allegiance To The Queen|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/05/20/labour-mp-richard-burgon-oath_n_7341252.html|work=The Huffington Post UK|accessdate=20 May 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|last=Bright |first=Sam |url=http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/06/who-nominated-who-2015-labour-leadership-election |title=Who nominated who for the 2015 Labour leadership election? |publisher=Newstatesman.com |date=15 June 2015 |accessdate=19 July 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers/economic-secretary-to-the-treasury|title=Economic Secretary to the Treasury - GOV.UK|website=www.gov.uk}} 10. ^{{cite web|last1=Newman|first1=Cathy|title=Why I went full throttle in my own car-crash interview|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11934397/Why-I-went-full-throttle-in-my-own-car-crash-interview.html|work=The Telegraph|accessdate=10 December 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Bartlett|first1=Evan|title=Labour MP endures four excruciating minutes in painful Channel 4 interview|url=http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/labour-mp-endures-four-excruciating-minutes-in-painful-channel-4-interview--Wk7UT3rehwx|work=The Independent|accessdate=14 December 2015}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Who's staying and who's going in the shadow cabinet?|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36633158|accessdate=28 June 2016|publisher=BBC|date=27 June 2016}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/iain-dale/100-most-influential-people-on-the-left-iain-dale/|title=The 100 Most Influential People On The Left: Iain Dale's 2017 List|last=Dale|first=Iain|date=25 September 2017|work=LBC|accessdate=31 October 2017|archive-url=|archivedate=|dead-url=}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/campaign/Election_campaigns/Trade_Unionist_and_Socialist_Coalition/20880|work=The Socialist|title=Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition|date=10 June 2015|accessdate=6 February 2019}} 15. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/11/25/439063/UK-Chancellor-spending-cuts|title=Wrotests held against UK Chancellor's spending cuts|work=Press TV|first=Faiza|last=Ahmed|date=25 November 2015}} 16. ^{{cite news|last1=Burgon|first1=Richard|title=Bombing Syria Is Not the Right Thing for the Country, the Wider Region or for Britain|url=http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/8678428|accessdate=1 December 2015|work=HuffPost|date=30 November 2015}} 17. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46357169|title=Legal aid advice network 'decimated' by funding cuts|work=BBC News|first=Dominic|last=Gilbert|date=10 December 2018}} 18. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/feb/06/labour-mp-richard-burgon-wins-nazi-libel-case-against-sun|title=Labour MP Richard Burgon wins 'Nazi' libel case against Sun|first=Jim|last=Waterson|date=6 February 2019|work=The Guardian|accessdate=6 February 2019|issn=0261-3077}} 19. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/feb/06/labour-mp-richard-burgon-wins-nazi-libel-case-against-sun|title=Labour MP Richard Burgon wins 'Nazi' libel case against Sun|last=editor|first=Jim Waterson Media|date=2019-02-06|work=The Guardian|access-date=2019-02-07|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} External links{{Commons category}}
