Stephen Parkinson (adviser)

Stephen Parkinson is a British political special adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May.

Parkinson worked on her leadership campaign despite being part of the Vote Leave campaign in the EU referendum. He worked as a lobbyist for Quiller Consultants. He is reported to have worked on the team that briefed David Cameron. He successfully campaigned for a No vote in the 2011 referendum on changing the UK's voting system.[1]

Like Nick Timothy, he was removed from the list of Conservative candidates over his refusal to canvass for votes in the Rochester and Strood by-election, over concerns it broke guidelines.
