Timeline

1969

Christopher John Pincher (born 24 September 1969) is a British former politician and member of the Conservative Party who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamworth from 2010 until his resignation in 2023.

1983

He was deputy director of the Conservative Collegiate Forum, followed by chairman of Islington North Constituency Association, the constituency represented by Jeremy Corbyn since 1983.

1987

He has been a member of the Conservative Party since 1987, having been politicised by the 1984–85 miners' strike.

1997

He was tipped as a future cabinet member ahead of the 1997 general election, in which he ran for Parliament for the newly created safe Labour seat of Warley, in Sandwell; he came second, with 24% of the vote.

2001

Pincher was a member of Iain Duncan Smith's successful campaign for the party leadership in 2001.

2005

He first contested the seat in 2005.

He failed to be elected in 2005 when he first stood for Tamworth, gaining a 2.8% swing from Labour.

Although Brian Jenkins retained the seat, Pincher said he had won the arguments, after campaigning for more police and school discipline.

2009

While a candidate, he campaigned against the decision to close Queen Elizabeth's Mercian School, which had been earmarked for closure under Building Schools for the Future, and called the 2009 decision to keep the school open a "victory for people power".

He also successfully put pressure on Persimmon to resume and complete construction of the half-built Tame Alloys Estate in Wilnecote.

2010

Pincher was first elected as the Conservative MP for Tamworth at the 2010 general election, when he gained the seat from the Labour Party.

Pincher was re-selected to contest Tamworth for the 2010 election, gaining the seat on a 9.5% swing, taking him to 45.8% of the vote and a majority of 6,090 or 13.1%, over Brian Jenkins.

Pincher made his Maiden Speech in the Commons in June 2010 In his first 10 months as an MP, Pincher had the second-highest House of Commons attendance rate of the West Midlands' 57 MPs, after James Morris.

In his first year, he spoke in 94 debates; top amongst Staffordshire's 11 MPs.

In December 2010, he said any route via Mile Oak or Hopwas was "just not acceptable".

Soon after, the route via Hopwas Ridge was rejected, a move welcomed by Pincher and campaigners.

2011

He endorsed closer links with Latvia after meeting Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis in January 2011.

He has since met with the Latvian ambassador with a view to setting up an all-party parliamentary group for Latvia.

He opposed moving the clocks permanently forward an hour to Central European Time.

In 2011, he was a member of the special Select Committee set up to scrutinise the bill that became the Armed Forces Act 2011.

2012

He unsuccessfully lobbied in Parliament for the Olympic Torch to pass through Tamworth during the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay.

2013

Pincher voted in favour of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which legalised same-sex marriage in England and Wales.

Pincher campaigned against the building of High Speed 2, which is planned to run past the outskirts of Tamworth.

He has defended residents from accusations they were "Nimbies" and has called the HS2 business case 'significantly flawed'.

In 2013, he organised a campaign to get local people to knit "beanie hats" for soldiers of the 3rd Battalion (The Staffords) of the Mercian Regiment, for their pending deployment to Afghanistan.

2015

He served as a parliamentary private secretary to Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond from 2015 to 2016.

2017

Pincher served as an assistant whip and Comptroller of the Household in 2017, before he resigned after being implicated in the 2017 Westminster sexual misconduct allegations, having been accused of sexual misconduct by Tom Blenkinsop and Alex Story.

2018

Pincher served as Government Deputy Chief Whip, and Treasurer of the Household from 2018 to 2019 and from February to June 2022.

Two months later, in January 2018, he was appointed by Theresa May as Government Deputy Chief Whip and Treasurer of the Household.

2019

After Boris Johnson became prime minister in July 2019, Pincher was appointed Minister of State for Europe and the Americas.

2020

In the February 2020 cabinet reshuffle, he was appointed Minister of State for Housing.

In February 2022, he returned to his former role of Government Deputy Chief Whip and Treasurer of the Household.

After allegedly groping two men while he was drunk, Pincher resigned as Deputy Chief Whip on 30 June 2022, and had the Conservative whip removed.

This triggered a scandal over his appointment to the role, as Johnson knew about the allegations but did not dismiss him, leading to a government crisis that ultimately resulted in Johnson's resignation.

Pincher continued to sit as an MP for another year, but did not make any further contributions in the House of Commons.

Pincher announced in April 2023 that he would stand down at the next UK general election.

In its investigation of his conduct, the Commons Select Committee on Standards censured Pincher in a report published on 6 July 2023, labelling his actions profoundly damaging both to the reputation of Parliament and his victims, and an abuse of power.

The committee recommended Pincher be suspended from Parliament for eight weeks.

On 7 September 2023, he announced his imminent resignation as an MP, which triggered the 2023 Tamworth by-election.

Pincher was born in Walsall, and grew up in Wombourne, Staffordshire.
