Clare Moody

Clare Miranda Moody (born 30 October 1965) is a British politician serving as Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset since 2024.

[3] Moody also stood to become the inaugural Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner,[7] reaching the second round as Labour's candidate in the 2012 election.

[8] Moody unsuccessfully contested South West England in the 2004 European Parliament election, in fourth position on the Labour Party list.

[13][14] Moody voted in favour of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market in 2019, despite concerns that the legislation enforced censorship on EU internet users.

[15] Moody lost her seat in the 2019 European Parliament election, when no Labour candidate was returned in South West England.

[28] In 2018, Moody argued that the EU and UK defence and security relationship should remain close despite Brexit, and that closer European Union–NATO relations would assist in that and reduce wasteful duplication of effort.

[11] She credited the loss of her European Parliamentary seat in 2019 to Labour's Brexit position, arguing that the party needed to adopt a clear pro-EU stance.
