Feryal Clark is the Labour MP for Enfield North, having first been elected to Parliament in 2019 with a majority of 6,492Â over the Conservative Party.

Born in Turkey in 1979, Feryal Clark is Labour’s first Kurdish MP. She was educated at the University of Exeter. She served as a Councillor on Hackney Council, and was Deputy Mayor between 2019 and 2019.
