Daniel Joseph Carden (born 28 October 1986) is a British Labour Party politician who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool Walton since 2017.[1]
Carden served as Shadow Secretary of State for International Development from 2018 to 2020,[2] and Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury from April to October 2020.[3] He resigned from the latter role due to the disagreements with the party leadership over the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill.[4]
Carden is a patron of LGBT Labour, one of eight LGBT MPs newly elected in the 2017 general election.[5][6] An avowed socialist, he paid tribute to his predecessor Eric Heffer in a memorial lecture in January 2019.[7] He is a former member of the Socialist Campaign Group parliamentary caucus but left the group in 2024.[8]
