Tom Watson is the MP for West Bromwich East and the former Deputy Chair of the Labour Party.[1]
Watson resigned from the Shadow Cabinet on 4 July 2013 amid recrimination within the Labour party over a suspended selection in the Falkirk constituency.[2]
In the 2015 general election, Watson was re-elected with a majority of 9,470. [3]
On the 12th of September 2015 Watson overcame other promising candidates like Stella Creasey and Angela Eagle to claim the Deputy leadership of the party, breaching the 50% threshold in the 3rd round of voting.
