Alice Macdonald is a British politician selected by the Labour Party UK to stand as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Norwich North[1]. She is the daughter of West Norfolk Council Labour leader Irene Macdonald.[2]
Education edit
Macdonald graduated with first class honours from the University of Bristol in 2005, then went on to study a Master of the Arts in International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS University of London, where she graduated in 2007 with distinction.[3]
Early life edit
Macdonald grew up in a small village in Norfolk where she attended a comprehensive school. Her first job was on a local farm; later she worked in pubs, cafes and shops.[4]
Charity campaigning edit
Macdonald served as Campaigns and Policy Director for London based company[5] Project Everyone between August 2016 and April 2023. Project Everyone is an organisation co-founded by Richard Curtis and dedicated to "achieving sustainable development goals" via "campaign materials, [...] installations, [...] documentaries, [and] events".[6] In addition to her political campaign work, Macdonald currently serves as Campaign Director for Hungry for Action Campaign, who aim to spotlight the global food crisis.[7]
Controversy edit
In 2019 Macdonald announced she would be standing for the Labour Party UK candidacy against Karen Davis. Davis previously stood unsuccessfully against the UK Conservative Party incumbent Chloe Smith (MP). The announcement of Macdonald's candidacy prompted accusations that Macdonald unfairly used campaign materials in a manner that took credit for someone else's work. Labour Party UK Councilor Emma Corlett remarked: "This video literally uses photos from Karen Davis' campaign on holiday hunger and has you walking past the Vote Labour boards she and I put up with our bare (splintered) hands." An additional comment cast doubt on Macdonald's local knowledge: "Use your local knowledge? What, on a postage stamp?".[2]
