Bell Ribeiro-Addy is the Labour MP for Streatham, having first been elected to Parliament in 2019 with a majority of 17,690.
The Streatham constituency covers the areas around Streatham and Clapham in inner South London. Streatham is a compact and ethnically diverse constituency in which ethnic minority voters account for over two fifths of the electorate. At 79.5%, this seat had one of the highest Remain votes of anywhere in the country in the 2016 Brexit referendum. It is safe territory for the Labour Party.
Born in 1985, Ribeiro-Addy grew up in south London, and was educated at Bradford University and Queen Mary’s University. She is a former black students officer and convenor on anti racism for the National Union of Students.
Before being elected to Parliament, she served as Chief of Staff to the former Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott MP.
Positioned firmly on the left of the Labour Party, she is the Co-Chair of Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs. She supported Rebecca Long Bailey in the 2020 Labour leadership election.
She is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Groups on the British Overseas Territories, Children Who Need Palliative Care, Domestic Violence, Immigration Detention, Knife Crime, and Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.
