John Mann, Baron Mann (born 10 January 1960) is a British Labour Party politician who is a Member of the House of Lords. Before being granted a peerage, he was the Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Bassetlaw from the 2001 general election until 2019.[3]
Mann served on the Treasury Select Committee. He had been the Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Tessa Jowell and Richard Caborn. Mann is also a prominent campaigner against antisemitism. In 2019, he stood down as an MP before the general election and took up a full-time role as the UK Government's independent adviser on antisemitism in the United Kingdom, at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.[4][5]
Mann was nominated as a life peer in the House of Lords by Prime Minister Theresa May in her resignation honours list. He resigned his Commons seat on 28 October.[3] He retook the Labour whip in May 2024.
