Michael Robert Hill (born 12 May 1963) is a British Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for Hartlepool from 2017 until his resignation in 2021.

Early life

Hill was born in Heywood in Lancashire in 1963.

He attended Sutherland High School (which became Heywood Community High School in 1990). He has a degree in Drama and English Literature from the University of Lancaster.

Career

Hill has worked in local authority libraries and as a trade union official. Until being elected to Parliament in 2017, he was the Political Officer for UNISON Northern Region and Vice Chair of Labour North.

He was the unsuccessful Labour candidate for Richmond in North Yorkshire at the 2015 election, which has traditionally been a safe seat for the Conservatives. He came third behind the UKIP candidate. In 2017, upon the retirement of Labour MP Iain Wright, Hill was selected as Labour's candidate for Hartlepool, a Tees Valley seat the party has held for several decades. Hill had lived in the town of Hartlepool for nearly twenty years. He successfully retained the seat at the 2017 general election.

He was suspended from the Labour Party in September 2019 over allegations of sexual harassment, but reinstated in October 2019. In January 2020, Hill's request for anonymity was turned down in an upcoming employment tribunal related to the accusations. The alleged victim stated that she had also made a report to the Metropolitan Police at the time of the original accusations.

Hill retained his seat at the 2019 general election. He later supported Keir Starmer in the 2020 Labour leadership election and Angela Rayner for the deputy leadership.

On 16 March 2021, Hill announced his resignation with immediate effect, and on that day was appointed Crown Steward and Bailiff of the three Chiltern Hundreds. He is due to face an employment tribunal later in the year relating to allegations of sexual harassment and victimisation.
