Updated: Wikipedia source
David John Warburton (28 October 1965 – 26 August 2025) was a British Conservative politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Somerton and Frome from 2015 until 2023. On his election in the 2015 general election he represented the Conservative Party, but was suspended from the party in April 2022 pending the outcome of an Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) investigation into allegations of harassment and class A drug use. On 17 June 2023, Warburton announced his resignation as an MP, triggering a by-election. On 16 July 2023 an investigation into the allegations against Warburton was closed as "materially flawed" with the comment "the complainant has withdrawn her complaint". Prior to entering politics, he was the founder, chief executive and chairman of Pitch Entertainment Group.
