Simon Clarke career

In the 2015 general election, Clarke ran an unsuccessful campaign as the Conservative candidate for the Middlesbrough constituency, finishing third out of five contenders with 16.5%, a 2.3% swing against his party.

In April 2017, while working as a Policy Advisor for Conservative Member of Parliament Graham Stuart, he was chosen to run for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland.

In the 2017 general election, he defeated Labour to take over the seat after incumbent MP Tom Blenkinsop resigned. Clarke has held positions on the Regulatory Reform Committee, the Treasury Subcommittee, and the Treasury Committee.

He campaigned against his own party’s resistance to onshore windfarms and disputed with Middlesbrough Council, run by Labour, and Anna Turley, the then Labour MP for Redcar, over proposals for local transport upgrades.

The UK government revised the Climate Change Act 2008 on June 12, 2019, adding a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the country by 100% by 2050 (relative to 1990 levels).

He was named Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury in the administration of Boris Johnson on July 27, 2019. He was named Minister of State for Local Government and Regional Growth on February 13, 2020. Clarke has promoted revitalization on a local and national level.

He declared his support for the redevelopment of the SSI steelworks site and for private projects in his constituency that promote regeneration, such as the reopening and expansion of Teesside International Airport and the ambitions of the Mayor of Tees Valley.

In his capacity, he claimed that coastal towns had not benefited from the economic expansion that had been witnessed in other regions of the United Kingdom.

At the 2019 general election Clarke was re-elected, increasing his percentage of the vote to 58.8% and increasing his majority to 11,626. Clarke announced his retirement from the ministry in September 2020, citing personal reasons for his leave of absence.

On September 15, 2021, there was a cabinet reshuffle, and Clarke took Steve Barclay’s place as Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

Clarke was named Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Leveling Up on September 6, 2022. On October 25, 2022, he submitted his resignation from the position, one day before Rishi Sunak became the new prime minister.

A change to the Levelling Up Bill was made by Clarke in December 2022, and 34 Conservative MPs, including former prime ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, endorsed it to relax planning regulations for onshore wind turbines in England.

The Government said that a law mandating that additional turbines be constructed on pre-designated property would be revised in response to a threatening revolt spearheaded by Clarke.

Having voted to have the UK leave the European Union, Clarke is a staunch supporter of Brexit and the euroskeptic movement Leave Means Leave.

He declared that the “anti-democratic backstop” had been removed from the new Brexit agreement that Boris Johnson had obtained, calling it “marvelous news”.

He had sent a letter asking for a vote of no confidence in Theresa May’s leadership because he disagreed with her negotiating strategy.

Following the calling of a vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson’s leadership on June 6, 2022, Clarke declared his support for the Prime Minister, complimenting him on his leadership on Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine.

Clarke demanded that Sunak be replaced in a letter published in The Telegraph on January 23, 2024, saying that “Rishi Sunak is leading the Conservatives into an election where we will be massacred.”
