Sir Albert Bore (born 1946 in Ayrshire, Scotland[1]) is a British nuclear physicist, academic and Labour Party politician.

On 22 October 2015, Bore resigned as Leader effective 1 December, when he was succeeded by his Labour party colleague John Clancy.

Bore stood for Labour in the first direct elections for the European Parliament in June 1979 but lost the Birmingham South constituency to the Conservatives.

In 1980, Bore was elected to Birmingham City Council from the Ladywood ward, quickly gaining a reputation as a "left-wing firebrand".

He has published and lectured widely across Europe and internationally on the subject of city-building, urban renewal, devolution and local governance.

He stood for Birmingham Selly Oak in the 1987 general election, losing to Conservative incumbent Anthony Beaumont-Dark by 20,721 votes (39.3%) to 23,305 (44.2%).

This included the negotiation and delivery of one of the first public private partnerships in the UK with the then Conservative government and channelling-in European regional aid funding.
