Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi

Singh supported Lisa Nandy in the 2020 Labour Party leadership election.

On 4 September 2019, Dhesi criticised alleged Islamophobic comments by Boris Johnson, which compared Muslim women wearing the burqa to "letterboxes" and "bank robbers". He called for Johnson to investigate Islamophobic hate speech within the Conservative Party.

Singh has served on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee since July 2018.

He became Britain's first turbaned Sikh MP in the 2017 general election after gaining the nomination following Fiona Mactaggart standing down. He gave his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 18 July 2017 which was praised greatly by fellow MPs Gareth Snell and Mike Gapes.

Dhesi was the former mayor of Gravesham and the chair of Gravesham Constituency Labour Party in Kent where he stood unsuccessfully during the 2015 general election, losing out to Conservative MP Adam Holloway.

In 2012, his mother, Dalwinder Kaur Dhesi, was jailed in India, for kidnap and forcing an abortion on a teenage mother, who later died. The conviction was criticised by many commentators for being politically motivated, and an appeal was filed by Dalwinder in the immediate aftermath of the decision. In 2018, a double bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld this appeal. All charges against her were subsequently dropped.

Tanmanjeet Singh "Tan" Dhesi (born 17 August 1978) is a British Labour Party politician. He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Slough in 2017. He was appointed Shadow Minister for Railway by leader Sir Keir Starmer in April 2020.
