}}Christian Matheson (born 2 January 1968) is a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He is the Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency of City of Chester after winning the seat in the 2015 general election.[1] Matheson has been described as having "slightly left-of-centre views".[2]

Education

Christian Matheson grew up in rural Cheshire and gained a degree in economics and politics from the London School of Economics.[3][3][4]

Political career

Parliamentary career

Matheson was selected as the Labour Party Parliamentary Candidate for the City of Chester in June 2013.[5] After 7 May 2015 he gained the seat from Conservative Stephen Mosley with a majority of 93 votes, having the 3rd smallest majority of a parliamentary constituency in the UK after the 2015 general election.[6] In July 2015 he became a member of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee.[7]

In the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2015 Chris Matheson nominated Andy Burnham to be leader of the Labour Party.[8]

On 27 June 2016, Matheson resigned from his role as Justice Parliamentary Private Secretary, joining many members of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet team who resigned following the result of the EU referendum result.[9] He went on to nominate Owen Smith for the leadership in the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2016.[10][11] He rejoined the shadow cabinet team following the result and joined the shadow cabinet housing team as Parliamentary Private Secretary to John Healey.[12]

At the 2017 election, Matheson increased his majority from 93 to 9,176, turning Chester from a super-marginal seat into a safe seat.[13]

Political views

European Union

Matheson is a vocal supporter of the so-called People's Vote campaign.[14] Writing in The Guardian, Matheson has called Brexit a "hard rightwing coup." Warning of Brexit extremist plans to "to tie the UK to Trump’s US," Matheson has called for the defence of the "values of fairness, decency and internationalism."[15]

Foreign policy and defence

Matheson has consistently voted against the use of UK military forces in overseas combat missions, including operations targeting ISIL. Matheson has voted against investigations into the UK's involvement in the Iraq War.[16]

Personal life

Matheson was brought up in rural Cheshire and lives in Hoole with his family. He is married to Katherine and they have two children, both at school in Chester.[4] Matheson is an avid football fan, supporting both his local Chester F.C. and Everton F.C..[17]
