Chris Bloore

Christopher James Bloore is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Redditch since 4 July 2024.

Bloore was previously a member of Worcestershire County Council, representing Bromsgrove South; he resigned midway through his term after his election in 2017 to work in Toronto, Canada; his resignation triggered a by-election which was won by the Conservative Party, with Labour finishing fourth. Bloore was selected as the parliamentary candidate for Redditch in February 2024.

Bloore's local party website describes him as a "business leader". The Redditch Advertiser notes that he previously worked in Canada as the Chief Executive Officer of a provincial tourism trade association.

Since entering Parliament, Bloore has raised the issue of children’s mental health and in March 2025 led a backbench business debate on mental health support in educational settings. He has also called for mental health support teams to be rolled out as quickly as possible across the country.

He has recognised the ‘institutional and strategic failures’ in SEND provision in Worcestershire and has called on the county council and central government to overhaul the system.

In October 2024, Bloore called for a public enquiry into the Birmingham pub bombings.

In November 2024, Bloore voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which proposes to legalise assisted suicide.

Bloore has praised his local football team, Redditch United F.C. in parliament for their work in the community, and their partnership with the local gambling charity Gordon Moody.
