Kristan Frederick Hopkins[1] (born 8 June 1963)[2] is a British Conservative Party politician, who was formerly the Member of Parliament for Keighley in West Yorkshire.

Hopkins served in Kenya, Northern Ireland and Germany as a Private in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.

In 2012, Hopkins alleged that some Muslim gangs were targeting young white girls for rape, saying: "if we deny that fact in this House then the BNP and everybody else climbs on board" and suggested that law enforcement was hindered in pursuing them by "political correctness".

[9] Conservative Party colleague Nadine Dorries called the promotion of Hopkins to a junior ministerial posts "a really awful decision", describing him on Twitter as "one of parliament's slimiest, nastiest MP's".

[11] Following the May 2015 general election, Hopkins was appointed Vice-Chamberlain of the Household – a senior position within the whips' office.
