Alistair is the Member of Parliament for Hitchin. As an MP, Alistair co-founded the Labour Group for Men and Boys to champion progressive leadership on issues affecting men in Britain today.

He has been a leading voice in Parliament on the need for a greater political focus ob the challenges young men and boys can face, including greater focus on role models in education, action on men’s mental health and better protections for young men and boys online. He has written on the need for progressives to wake up to the vacuum they have left in speaking directly to the issues affecting men and boys on their own terms, and helped instigate the inaugural International Men’s Day reception at No10 Downing Street.

Before becoming an MP he worked as a teacher and climate finance expert at the Bank of England, alongside leading Education and Children’s services as a local councillor.
