Simon Justin Reevell[1] (born 2 March 1966) is a British barrister and Conservative Party politician.

[2] After attending Manchester Polytechnic and obtaining a degree in Economics, he embarked on a career in the army as an infantry officer, but this was cut short by injury.

[2] Based in chambers in Sheffield, he practises in general criminal law, specialising in defending service personnel at courts-martial both in the UK and abroad.

Lots of local authorities are being asked to save a lot of money.”[10] In response the Labour leader of Kirklees Council hit back stating that “We wouldn’t be talking about a nuclear option if we didn’t have £140 million cut from our budget every year.” He said that cuts on a national level left councils with no choice but to slash services.

[10] In March 2015 Reevell announced he had received a letter from "the Scholars of Dewsbury" complaining that the 2015 Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill “seeks to alienate… the Muslim community” and is for “party political gain”.

"[11] He also went on to say that; “Your group appears to lack any appreciation of the fact that an absence of credible, relevant leadership within the Muslim community in the UK has contributed significantly to the opportunity for radicalisation amongst this minority of young people."

and that; "For it to be advanced on behalf of a group that refers to its members as scholars is beyond disappointing.”[11] Reevell is married to Louise, who is also a barrister.

He plays tennis and is interested in late Victorian oil paintings, classic cars and military history.
