Anthony Mangnall

Anthony James Holland Mangnall (born 12 August 1989), is a British Conservative Party politician,[1] who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Totnes from 2019[2] to 2024.

[10] In 2014 he returned to London with Poten & Partners establishing himself in the West Africa small tankers market, thus gaining experience in evaluating national fuel security levels.

[12] At the 2017 general election Mangnall contested the traditionally safe Labour seat of Warley, where although unsuccessful he did achieve the biggest swing to the Tories.

[13] Prior to his selection on 20 July 2019 as the Conservative PPC for Totnes,[14] he was working as a Special Adviser to then Secretary of State for Wales, Alun Cairns.

[12] He defeated the incumbent Dr Sarah Wollaston who had defected from the Conservatives in February crossing the floor to sit as a Change UK MP, before standing at the general election as a Liberal Democrat candidate.

[15] Since his election to Parliament in 2019 Mangnall has been a regular contributor in debates on Bills regarding fishing, farming, international trade, development, foreign policy and defence.

Mangnall was a vocal opponent of the cut to Foreign Aid believing the UK's role in international development to be globally leading and in the national interest.

Mangnall stated in Parliament that "no government should ever use fear as a tool to try and persuade its citizens", and that the UK needs to "build up its resilience and reduce its restrictions."
