Tess Kingham (born 4 May 1963) is a politician in the United Kingdom. She was the Labour Member of Parliament for Gloucester from 1997 to 2001. She retired in disillusionment after one term, having complained publicly about the lack of childcare support and facilities in the Palace of Westminster.[1][2] She later expressed dissatisfaction with the House of Commons, accusing various members of "endlessly thrusting their groins around the Chamber in mock combat" and "indulging in yah-boo nonsense, point-scoring and silly games".

She is married to Mark Luetchford, civil servant and trustee of War on Want and author of "Waging the War on Want" the official history of the organisation. They have three children.
