Michael Lee Amesbury (born 7 May 1969) is a British politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Weaver Vale since 2017.
A member of the Labour Party, he has served as Shadow Minister for Building Safety and Homelessness since 2023.
Amesbury was born on 7 May 1969 in Wythenshawe, Cheshire.
He was educated at Ilkley College and the University of Central England.
A careers advisor by trade, Amesbury previously worked as a manager with the Connexions careers advice service.
He also worked as Senior Parliamentary Advisor to Angela Rayner while she was Shadow Secretary of State for Education, and as political advisor and stakeholder manager on Andy Burnham's successful campaign to become Mayor of Greater Manchester.
He was a director of City South Manchester Housing Trust, an award-winning social enterprise providing affordable housing in the Fallowfield, Hulme, Moss Side and Whalley Range areas of south Manchester.
He also served as a policy advisor to Tameside Council.
Amesbury joined the Labour Party as a 17-year-old after moving with his family to Yorkshire, where he says he was politicised by the impact on local families of Margaret Thatcher's political policies and the subsequent miners' strike.
He served as a Regional Officer and Fundraising and Events Manager for Labour and was later elected to the party's National Policy Forum (NPF), the policymaking arm of the Labour Party.
Amesbury was elected to Manchester City Council representing Fallowfield Ward in 2006, defeating the incumbent Liberal Democrat, and subsequently winning re-election in 2010 and 2014.
Rising to the position of Executive Member for Culture and Leisure from 2008 to 2012, he helped bring the National Football Museum to the city.
He campaigned for 'remain' in the 2016 EU membership referendum.
He stood down following his election to the House of Commons, triggering a by-election in his ward in July 2017.
In the 2017 general election, Amesbury gained the Weaver Vale constituency from the Conservative incumbent Graham Evans on a swing of 4.3%.
He previously served as Shadow Minister for Employment from 2018 to 2020, Shadow Minister for Housing from 2020 to 2021 and Shadow Minister for Local Government from 2021 to 2022.
He was named Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Shadow Department for Work and Pensions team in January 2018, and in July of the same year was promoted to Shadow Employment Minister.
He is a member of the UNISON and GMB trade unions.
In 2019, Amesbury apologised for having shared an antisemitic caricature on Facebook in 2013, stating “I apologise unreservedly for this terrible error.
I genuinely don’t recall sharing this image and I’m mortified that I did so.
This appalling image image contains an antisemitic caricature and a reference to the ‘illuminati’ conspiracy theory.
I would never have intentionally shared antisemitic tropes and I am sincerely sorry that I did.”
Amesbury was appointed as the Shadow Minister for Housing and Planning in the April 2020 reshuffle following Keir Starmer's election as Labour leader.
In the subsequent May 2021 reshuffle, his brief was reduced to the Shadow Minister for Housing, with Ruth Cadbury receiving the planning portfolio.

In April 2021, the bill became law after it made it through final reading in the House of Lords and received royal assent the following day.
In 2020, Amesbury became one of four vice-chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Whistleblowing, which some campaigners have criticised on whistleblowing law reform.
Amesbury supports the eventual implementation of proportional representation at elections and reform of the House of Lords to make its membership mainly elected.
He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
Amesbury is married and has a son.
He is a Manchester United fan and his interests include rugby league and indie music.
