Naushabah Khan

Naushabah Khan is the Labour MP for Gillingham and Rainham in Kent, elected in 2024 in what had been a Conservative-held marginal. On 11 May 2026 she resigned as a parliamentary private secretary, part of a coordinated wave of four PPS resignations that opened Labour's internal crisis over Keir Starmer's leadership. Khan's profile before Parliament included community activism and local government work in Medway. Her constituency, in the north Kent commuter belt, is exactly the type of seat Labour's 2024 intake must hold to remain a parliamentary force — making her departure significant as a signal of how FAR the internal discontent extended into vulnerable marginals.
