Thomas Cecil Skeffington-Lodge[1] (15 January 1905 – 23 February 1994)[2] was a British Labour Party politician.

[citation needed] Skeffington-Lodge fought Bedford at the 1945 general election and unexpectedly defeated the Conservative incumbent Richard Wells, by just 268 votes.

[3] He only served one term, however, before being beaten in 1950 by Winston Churchill's son-in-law Christopher Soames by 2108 votes.

He went on to fight Mid Bedfordshire in 1955, Grantham in 1959 and Brighton Pavilion in a 1969 by-election.
