Rob Carr

Rob was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne and now live in London. He works in Westminster as Communications Manager for the Christian Socialist Movement , and as a political aide in the House of Lords.

Having grown up in a family of shipyard workers, trade unionists and Labour Party activists in the Northeast, he is himself a committed political activist campaigning for my trade union (Unite), the Cooperative Party and the Labour Party.

Growing up with a severely disabled family member, he is very passionate about our nation’s welfare and health services, and rights for the disabled. He also has an interest in international development and the environment.

As well as being politically active, he is a Christian. He supports Newcastle United. At night, he goes to the gym (sometimes) and out with friends (more often) to have discussions about football, politics and the poor quality of the ale among other things. He likes to have adventures. He doesn’t know how he finds the time either.
