Nadia Edith Whittome (/ˈwɪtəm/, born 29 August 1996)[1][2][3] is a British politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottingham East since 2019.

[6] Her mother is an Anglo-Indian Catholic solicitor and former member of the Labour Party, who left in protest at the amendment of Clause IV of the constitution in 1995.

[8][12] She worked in the constituency office of the Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Durham, Pat Glass, Shadow Minister of State for Europe, during the 2016 European Union referendum campaign.

She is also the latest-born MP to have served under the reign of Elizabeth II (the oldest being David Logan, born some 125 years earlier).

[23] Following her election, Whittome said that she would keep what she termed "a worker's wage" of £35,000 (after tax), and would donate the remainder of her £79,468 salary as an MP to local charities.

[28] In February 2020, Whittome organised a letter signed by 170 MPs demanding that Jamaican-born offenders not be deported to Jamaica.

[30] In September ExtraCare issued a statement in which they admitted that there had been shortages of PPE at the care home, and that Whittome had helped to resolve this through public appeals in March and April.

[37] In May 2021, alongside celebrities and other public figures, she was a signatory to an open letter from Stylist magazine which called on the government to address what it described as an "epidemic of male violence" by funding an "ongoing, high-profile, expert-informed awareness campaign on men's violence against women and girls".

[39] Following the October 2022 Conservative Party leadership election, she tweeted that Rishi Sunak becoming Britain's first British-Asian Prime Minister was not "a win for Asian representation".

[42][43] Whittome has led calls for Georgia to be removed from the UK Home Office's list of 'safe' states to return asylum seekers to, saying that it is 'vital that Georgia is now removed from the safe states designation to ensure that the claims of LGBTQIA refugees are properly assessed'.
