Gloria De Piero (born 21 December 1972) is a British Labour Party politician and journalist who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashfield since 2010. She was previously known for her work on GMTV.
After serving as a shadow minister from October 2010, De Piero was promoted to the shadow cabinet in 2013 as Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. In 2015 she was appointed Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration. She resigned that position on 26 June 2016.
De Piero was born in Bradford, Yorkshire and is of Italian descent. She lived in the working class area of south-west Bradford known as Wibsey, traditionally a Labour-voting area. She attended Marshfields Primary School in Little Horton then Priestman Middle School on Thornton Lane in Little Horton until 1986. From around the time De Piero was 10, neither of her parents were in employment owing to her father's ill-health.
She attended the Roman Catholic Yorkshire Martyrs Catholic College on Westgate Hill Street. She completed her A Levels at Bradford and Ilkley College, and joined Socialist Organiser and the Labour Party at 18. De Piero then went to the University of Central England, where she served an annual term as President of the Student Union, before graduating as a BA in Social Science from the University of Westminster in 1996. She was involved in the Labour Student campaign of 1996–97 at the national base. She later obtained an MSc in Social and Political Theory from Birkbeck, University of London in 2001.
