Andrew John Gwynne (born 4 June 1974) is a British Labour Party politician and has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Denton and Reddish since 2005, replacing the retiring Andrew Bennett. He was re-elected in 2015 with a majority of 10,511.
He was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister without Portfolio by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in October 2016 and then became Campaigns and Elections Chair in 2017. He is a member of the Unite Trade Union, the Co-operative Party and the Christian Socialist Movement.
Born in Manchester, where he grew up, he was educated at Egerton Park Community High School (now called Denton Community College) on Egerton Street in Denton, Tameside College of Technology in Ashton-under-Lyne, North East Wales Institute of Higher Education in Wrexham from 1992-5 and the University of Salford from 1995–98, earning a BA in Politics and Contemporary History.
At the age of 21, he became England's youngest councillor, when on 2 May 1996 he was elected on to Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, representing the Denton West Ward for the Labour Party. He was re-elected in 2000 and 2004, when he topped the poll in an "all out" election resulting from boundary changes in the borough. From 1998–2001 he chaired the Denton and Audenshaw District Assembly and in 2003–04 he chaired the Resources and Community Services Scrutiny Panel.
