From 1996 to 1997, he was MP for South East Staffordshire before minor boundary changes in 1997. Parliamentary careerJenkins was elected to the House of Commons at the South East Staffordshire by-election in April 1996, following the death of Conservative Party MP David Lightbown. He had contested the seat in 1992. The South East Staffordshire constituency was abolished in boundary changes at the 1997 general election, when he was returned to Parliament for the new Tamworth constituency. He was re-elected at the 2001 general election and again in 2005, but lost the seat to the Conservatives in 2010. Warren Clegg controversyA Mail on Sunday story on 24 May 2009 accused Jenkins of attempting to bully Warren Clegg, a local Conservative Party activist, with threats of legal action in response to allegedly libellous allegations Mr Clegg had made in the local press.[1] Clegg had accused Jenkins of failing to reply to letters questioning his stance regarding the treatment of Gurkhas, and of habitually failing to respond to correspondence that Mr Clegg had sent him. In response, Jenkins wrote to Clegg stating that he had no record of receiving a letter regarding Gurkhas from Mr Clegg. He also said that he had replied to previous letters Mr Clegg had sent regarding Gaza. The letter asked for a public apology to be given and "false claims" to be retracted, and that if this was not forthcoming legal action might be pursued. Clegg's mother responded to the legal threats by contacting the Daily Mail, writing to the Prime Minister and handing copies of the letter to Conservative blogger Iain Dale.[2] At no stage was the important contextual information about the role of Warren Clegg as a local Conservative Party activist and member of Conservative Future made apparent by either the Mail on Sunday or Iain Dale. Bloggers later discovered a photograph of Warren Clegg in his role in Conservative Future pictured with Conservative Party leader David Cameron on the Conservative Party website which, in some eyes, damaged the credibility of the claims being made.[3] Mr Jenkins later shared extensive previous correspondence he had had with Mr Clegg with local Tamworth paper, The Herald.[4] However, Mr Clegg continues to deny writing any letters to Brian Jenkins and has stated that he plans to use the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to force the MP to come up with the referred documents.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-1186990/Bully-MP-threatens-sue-student-criticised-Gurkhas-note-hand-delivered-home.html|title='Bully' MP threatens to sue student who criticised him over Gurkhas in note hand-delivered to home|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2009/05/labour-mp-bullies-constituent-over.html|title=Iain Dale's Diary: Labour MP Bullies Constituent Over Gurkha Letter|first=Iain|last=Dale|date=24 May 2009|publisher=}} 3. ^Bob Piper web site {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090527074919/http://www.bobpiper.co.uk/2009/05/sue_the_arse_off_him_brian.php |date=27 May 2009 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thisistamworth.co.uk/news/War-words-breaks-letter-MP/article-1034375-detail/article.html|title=War of words breaks out over letter to Tamworth MP|date=29 May 2009|publisher=}} 5. ^Tamworth Blog {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090627145218/http://www.tamworthblog.co.uk/2009/05/29/exclusive-warren-clegg-defends-his-letter-to-tamworth-mp |date=27 June 2009 }} External links
