Jessica Rose Phillips (née Trainor; born 9 October 1981) is a British politician serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Yardley since 2015. A member of the Labour Party, she was Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding in Keir Starmer's Opposition frontbench from 2020 to 2023.
Phillips was appointed as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Lucy Powell, the Shadow Education Secretary, in 2015. A vocal critic of the former Leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn, Phillips resigned as a PPS in protest over Corbyn's leadership[1] and said she would "find it incredibly difficult" to continue as an MP if Corbyn were re-elected as Labour leader.[2] She supported Owen Smith in the failed attempt to replace Corbyn in the 2016 leadership election.[3] Phillips was a candidate for Labour leader in the 2020 leadership election, but withdrew early in the contest.[4] Since 2019, Phillips has received the second highest income on top of her MP's salary amongst Labour Party MPs.[5]
