Jack Edgar Brereton (born 13 May 1991)[2] is a British politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Stoke-on-Trent South constituency from the 2017 general election until 2024.

Brereton first stood for a seat at the age of 18 in the 2010 Stoke-on-Trent City Council election on 6 May 2010, where he was defeated in the East Valley ward by the Labour Party candidate Matt Wilcox.

[9] He combined his councillor duties with attending university and, subsequently, with employment as a Parliamentary assistant to Conservative MP for Staffordshire Moorlands Karen Bradley.

This was at the expense of Joe Rich, who had added four per cent to the Conservative Party vote share when he stood in the constituency in the 2015 general election and had hoped to stand again.

[13] Brereton went on to defeat the sitting Labour MP Rob Flello and take the seat on 9 June 2017, making him the first Conservative to win in the constituency in over 80 years.
