MP for Droitwich and Evesham
Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport
“A loyal party figure with frontbench experience in finance and trade, now leading the opposition on culture and sport.”
Nigel Huddleston is the Conservative MP for Droitwich and Evesham, first elected in 2015. He has held several senior government posts in finance and international trade, and as of 2025 serves as Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and Co-Chair of the Conservative Party.
Huddleston is noted for very high party loyalty (100%) and good attendance (83%), with a small number of rebel votes (3). He generally supports tighter immigration controls and an asylum system, while voting against greater regulation of bus services and against VAT changes. His record on social and labour issues is mixed, with votes on transgender rights, trade union powers, NHS funding and prison sentencing not following a single, consistent direction.
Huddleston has declared 14 financial interests, including seven entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, four miscellaneous entries, one outside-UK gift/benefit, one shareholding, and one visits outside the UK.
