Stephen Charles Brine (born 28 January 1974) is a British Conservative Party politician and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Winchester. In the 2010 general election, he had a majority of 3,048 (5.4%) over the Liberal Democrat candidate Martin Tod. He was re-elected to the House of Commons in the 2015 general election with an increased majority of 16,914 (30.6%).
Brine was educated at Bohunt School, Highbury College and Liverpool Hope University where he read History. He served a sabbatical year as President of the Students' Union.
While in Liverpool he created a new company called Liverpool Student Media. In his youth, Brine also joined Friends of the Earth, which he cited as one of the reasons which drove him into politics.
Brine worked as a radio journalist, and when 18 years old was one of the BBC's youngest reporters and producers on BBC Local Radio, before working with BBC Radio Surrey and BBC Southern Counties Radio as well as contributing as a freelance reporter to Radio Five Live. Brine also spent a year working in Chicago with the Tribune Media Group's WGN Radio.
He also worked as a business development consultant, and for a golf marketing and publishing business.
Brine assisted Conservative Central Office when William Hague was leader of the party and again during the 2005–10 Parliament when he worked with Conservative MPs and Parliamentary Candidates across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
