Kieran Mullan is the Conservative MP for Crewe and Nantwich, having first been elected to Parliament in 2019, gaining the seat off the Labour Party with a majority of 8,508.
The Crewe and Nantwich constituency is found with Cheshire and contains the railway town of Crewe and the Roman and more Conservative leaning town of Nantwich. Traditionally a Labour seat, the Conservative Party had held Crewe and Nantwich from 2008 to 2017, when they lost the seat back to Labour by just 48 votes. With a 60.3% leave vote in the 2016 Brexit referendum, it swung back comfortably to the Conservatives in 2019.
Dr Mullan was appointed parliamentary private secretary at the department of transport in October 2022.
Born in 1984, Dr Kieran Mullan was educated at Imperial College in London and worked as an accident and emergency doctor before being elected to Parliament. He had also previously served as Director of Policy at the Patients Association. He is the founder and trustee of a volunteer recognition scheme called ‘Value You’.
Dr Mullan is openly gay and lives in Crewe. His father was a policeman, and he himself served as a Special Constable between 2014 and 2018.
Mullan has been linked in the media with the so called ‘pork pie’ plot of MPs elected in 2019 who were considered potentially hostile to the prime minister after the ‘partygate’ affair. Writing in his local newspaper column, he said: “The fact that I haven’t said he should resign does not mean that I accept or condone what has gone on, or that I agree that he should carry on. It means I want to take a decision with the full facts”.
He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in 2015 and 2017 in the West Midlands.
