Georgia Gould (politician)

Georgia Anne Rebuck Gould OBE (born 18 May 1986)[1][2] is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Queen's Park and Maida Vale since the 2024 general election.

[13][14][10] As a baby, Gould was featured on the cover of Private Eye being held by Leader of the Opposition Neil Kinnock in the run up to the 1987 general election.

[11][17] She has spoken of growing up in a "tribal Labour household"; holidays were spent with Alastair Campbell and his wife Fiona Millar, Tessa Jowell, and the family of Tony Blair.

[24] In December 2019, under Gould's leadership, a FOI request revealed that Veolia, a Camden Council contractor for waste removal have never met their cleanliness targets; yet for the two previous years, the firm was only fined 0.5% from their £11.6 million payment for street cleaning.

[28] Reviewing it in The Observer, Bidisha described the book as "an easy-to-read manifesto that debunks the derogatory tabloid stereotype of useless, narcissistic hoodies, thugs, yobs and chavs."

According to Gould, amongst the "lies" were that Blair's former spokesman Alastair Campbell was calling local party members on her behalf, and that she had engaged the services of an expensive public relations company to unfairly bolster her campaign.

[30] In May 2024, prior to the general election on 4 July, Gould was selected as Labour's parliamentary candidate for Queen's Park and Maida Vale, a newly created constituency which borders her borough of Camden.

[4] In November 2024, Gould voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which proposes to legalise assisted suicide.
