Simon Danczuk

Simon Christopher Danczuk ( DAN-chək; born 24 October 1966) is a British author and former Member of Parliament (MP) who represented the constituency of Rochdale between 2010 and 2017. Elected as a member of the Labour Party, he was suspended from the party in 2015 after it emerged he had exchanged explicit messages with a 17-year-old girl. He has co-written two books, Smile for the Camera: The Double Life of Cyril Smith and Scandal at Dolphin Square. Danczuk was the unsuccessful Reform UK candidate at the 2024 Rochdale by-election, which was won by Workers Party of Britain leader George Galloway.
