Sir Philip Andrew Davies (born 5 January 1972) is a British Conservative politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Shipley in West Yorkshire since the 2005 general election.

He is the most rebellious serving Conservative MP, having voted against the Tory whip over 250 times in the course of his parliamentary career.[4] He has been criticised for filibustering parliamentary bills not supported by the government and "killing off legislation he doesn't like".[5][6][7][8]

Davies is a campaigner for the men's rights movement and is known for campaigns against political correctness and feminism. He played a lead role in securing the first International Men's Day debate in Parliament in 2015, which now takes place annually.[9][10]

He is also an organiser for the TaxPayers' Alliance. Davies has regularly been criticised by other politicians and prominent public figures[11] for comments he has made on gender equality and women,[12] homosexuality,[13] ethnic minorities,[14] as well as the disabled.[15] He has stated that the disabled should have the option of working for less than the minimum wage.[16][17] Davies has said that white, male ministers risk being "hoofed out" of the government to make way for women or minority ethnic MPs.[18]
