Stephen John Doughty (born 15 April 1980) is a British Labour and Co-operative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Cardiff South and Penarth since a 2012 by-election that resulted from previous MP Alun Michael standing down to contest the Police and Crime Commissioner elections. He was previously a Shadow Foreign Office Minister but resigned live on television on 6 January 2016.
Doughty was born in Cardiff before his family moved to the Vale of Glamorgan. After attending Llantwit Major Comprehensive School, he studied at Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific in Canada (when he served as a member of British Columbia Youth Parliament), at Corpus Christi College, Oxford University (from which he graduated with a upper second-class degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics), and at the University of St Andrews.
After time spent working in Denmark, Doughty returned to the UK, where he became an advisor to Labour MP Douglas Alexander. He then worked in various roles for Oxfam International, before becoming the head of Oxfam Cymru in 2011.
