In the 2015 general election Stuart was re-elected with a majority of 2,706. [2]

In March 2016 the German-born Stuart was named vice-chair of the anti-European Union campaign group Vote Leave, alongside Conservatives Michael Gove and former London mayor Boris Johnson.

Memorable quotes

In October 2004 she became the only Labour MP to openly support the re-election of George W. Bush in that year's US Presidential election, arguing: 'you know where you stand with George and, in today's world, that's much better than rudderless leaders who drift with the prevailing wind.' [4]
