She is a Member of the European Parliament's Development and Co-operation Committee. She sits with the Party of European Socialists. She speaks Cymraeg ("the Welsh language"), but supports Labour over the nationalist Plaid Cymru.
She is married to former Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, Baron Kinnock (who was created a life peer in 2005).
Lady Kinnock is patron or president of a number of charitable organisations, including Saferworld, The Burma Campaign and One World Action (formerly The Bernt Carlsson Trust). She founded One World Action on December 21, 1989, exactly one year after UN Commissioner for Namibia, Bernt Carlsson, was killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 crash.
