Anthony Mangnall
Anthony James Holland Mangnall (born 12 August 1989), is a British Conservative Party politician, who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Totnes from 2019 to 2024. After minor boundary changes, Mangnall stood again for the seat, now named South Devon, in 2024, and become the first Conservative to lose the seat since 1923.
Mangnall worked in London and Singapore as a shipbroker before entering politics as a Special Adviser on foreign affairs.
The youngest son of Colonel Nicholas Mangnall OBE and Carola née Sayers, he was brought up in Zimbabwe then Northern Ireland. After attending Shrewsbury School in Shropshire, he read history, politics, and sociology at the University of Exeter, graduating as BA.
Mangnall served an undergraduate internship as a parliamentary researcher for William Hague, then after graduating he embarked upon a career in shipbroking.
Joining Braemar ACM's Singapore office in 2012, Mangnall trained as a shipbroker chartering small tankers. In 2014 he returned to London with Poten & Partners establishing himself in the West Africa small tankers market, thus gaining experience in evaluating national fuel security levels.
Appointed Private Secretary to William Hague in 2016, Mangnall then managed Lord Hague's private and public interests including working on the closure of the UK’s domestic trade of ivory. A passionate conservationist, he also helped to establish a Transport Taskforce directed at eradicating the movement of illegally poached goods.
At the 2017 general election Mangnall contested the traditionally safe Labour seat of Warley, where although unsuccessful he did achieve the biggest swing to the Tories. Prior to his selection on 20 July 2019 as the Conservative PPC for Totnes, he was working as a Special Adviser to then Secretary of State for Wales, Alun Cairns. At the 2019 general election Magnall was returned to parliament as Conservative MP for Totnes with a majority of 12,724. He defeated the incumbent Dr Sarah Wollaston who had defected from the Conservatives in February crossing the floor to sit as a Change UK MP, before standing at the general election as a Liberal Democrat candidate.
After his election to Parliament in 2019 Mangnall was a regular contributor in debates on Bills regarding fishing, farming, international trade, development, foreign policy and defence.
