In new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's first shadow cabinet, De Piero was made Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration, a new shadow cabinet-level role. She resigned her shadow cabinet position on 26 June 2016, among dozens of her colleagues, believing Corbyn could not lead the party to a general election victory. De Piero supported the UK remaining within the European Union (EU) in the 2016 UK EU membership referendum, and was present with Corbyn at the launch of the Labour In for Britain campaign. Approximately 70% of her constituents voted for the UK to leave the EU. She supported Owen Smith in the failed attempt to replace Corbyn in the 2016 Labour leadership election. At the June 2017 general election, De Piero's majority in Ashfield fell to just 441 votes. The following month, she accepted a place in Corbyn's shadow front-bench team as Shadow Justice Minister. In the indicative votes on 27 March 2019, De Piero voted for the Norway-plus model, and to a customs union with the EU. In July 2019, she resigned from the shadow front-bench and announced that she would not stand at the next general election. On 12 December 2019, she was succeeded as Member of Parliament for Ashfield, Nottinghamshire by the Conservative politician Lee Anderson, her former office manager. After prime minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deal was approved by Parliament, De Piero tweeted: "I'll forever regret not doing this. I knew @CarolineFlintMP + others were right at the time but as I said to her many times I'm not as brave as you Caroline when it comes to voting against a Whip. I should have been braver because I knew the Whip was fundamentally wrong". Personal life De Piero married James Robinson in 2012. Robinson was a media correspondent at The Guardian, media editor at The Observer and an employee at PR firm Powerscourt. He was the director of communications for former deputy leader of the Labour Party Tom Watson. References External links TV Newsroom Bradford College
