Clive Anthony Lewis (born 11 September 1971) is a British Labour politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Norwich South since 2015.

[8] Lewis was temporarily suspended from the role of vice-president of the NUS in 1996 by its president, Jim Murphy, for publicly supporting concerns about tuition fees.

[9][10] Lewis ran for president of the National Union of Students in 1996 on a platform of unfunded full grants and free education, and lost the election to Douglas Trainer.

[11] After completing a postgraduate diploma in journalism, Lewis worked on local newspapers in Northampton and Milton Keynes, and was then accepted into the BBC's News Trainee Scheme.

[13] In an opinion piece he wrote years later, Lewis said "despite being on the left, and despite being told in the cadets that 'there ain't no black in the union jack', I still opted to serve".

[16] In April 2015, during an interview by the New Statesman, in response to a question on whether he was taking his upcoming victory for granted, he said he would only lose if "he was caught with [his] pants down behind a goat with Ed Miliband at the other end".

[20][1] In his victory speech, Lewis declared New Labour to be "dead and buried" and promised to stand up for Norwich's most vulnerable against an "onslaught of cuts" by the governing Conservative Party.

[21] In his maiden speech, Lewis brought attention to the Government's plan to allow Housing Association homes to be bought by individuals.

He accused the Government of forcibly asset-stripping housing associations, stating the policy would "further segregate" Norwich as well as increase the number of homes that were owned "as mere units of speculation".

[35] On 8 February 2017, Lewis resigned from the shadow cabinet, citing the Labour Party's decision to whip its MPs to vote to trigger Article 50 to start Brexit negotiations.

[38] At the 2017 Labour Conference, video footage taken at a fringe event emerged in which Lewis told the male actor Sam Swann to "get on your knees, bitch".

[50] He also accused party leader Jeremy Corbyn of being "silent on detention centres" and the "no recourse to public funds" policy of the Conservative government.

The Bill was tabled to "change the way the government manages the economy to enable extensive public and private investment in a Green New Deal".

"[58] In September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Lewis wrote an article criticising the monarchy and the "flawed reality of the very limited democracy we inhabit".

He stated that exemptions to the taxes people must pay have allowed the King to amass a fortune of almost £2 billion "at a time when almost three million children, his subjects, face abject poverty".

[63] Lewis prefaced his parliamentary affirmation stating that he took his "oath under protest and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic".

"[66] Lewis voted against the highly publicized amendment to the King's Speech that sought to "abolish the two-child limit to Universal Credit; recognise that this policy is pushing children into poverty".

[67][68] In response to the 2024 United Kingdom riots, Lewis spoke at two anti-racism protests in Norwich – one outside a hotel housing asylum seekers,[69] and another in the city centre.
