Sir Jeremy Paul Wright KC (born 24 October 1972) is a British lawyer and politician who served as Attorney General for England and Wales from 2014 to 2018 and as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport from 2018 to 2019.

[1] He served as Lord Commissioner of the Treasury from 12 May 2010 until his appointment as Minister of State for Prisons at the Ministry of Justice on 6 September 2012.

[3][7] Wright has generally supported the proposals for the HS2 London to Birmingham rail link which will run through his constituency.

[16][17] Wright campaigned for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union before the EU membership referendum on 23 June 2016.

[19] At the snap 2017 general election, Wright was again re-elected, with an increased vote share of 60.8% but a decreased majority of 18,086.

[20][17] In July 2018, after a series of resignations[21] in May's cabinet after her decision of a "Soft Brexit" was reached at Chequers,[22] Wright was appointed to Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, after Matt Hancock was moved to become Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

[23] With Sajid Javid in late 2018, Wright warned social media firms that "the era of self-regulation is coming to an end" with regard to extremist content and announced a forthcoming 'online harms white paper', published in April 2019,[24] which is expected to introduce legal regulation of online publishers and social media, including new censorship rules.

[27] In late May 2022, Jeremy Wright became the 27th Conservative MP to publicly call for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign, in a 2,000 word letter on his website.

[33] He appealed the decision to order repayment of these expenses, claiming that he had requested permission to charge an amount for mobile phone calls as he did not have a landline installed in his London flat.
