Stephen Kinnock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Kinnock (born 1970[1]) is currently the managing director of the British Council in St Petersburg, Russia. Kinnock is the son of Neil Kinnock, chairman of the British Council and former leader of the Labour Party, and Glenys Kinnock, Member of the European Parliament. He is married to the leader of the Danish Social Democrat party, Helle Thorning Schmidt.

On 16 January 2008, Kinnock was stopped by Russian police in St Petersburg on suspicion of drunk driving, a move that British officials believe to be as part of a campaign of intimidation against the British Council and its staff in Russia following the fallout over the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning.[2][3]
