Pat Glass

Last updated

While I had always intended to do more than two terms in Parliament I have found the last six months very, very difficult. The referendum has been incredibly divisive, it divided families and communities and I have found it bruising in many respects. It has had an impact on both me and my family as I am sure it has had on many others. [10]

Glass stood down at the 2017 snap general election, citing the "bruising referendum" as a major cause. [13]

Personal life

Glass lives with her husband Bob in Lanchester, County Durham. Bob Glass served on Durham County Council from 2013 to 2017 as the Councillor for Delves Lane ward. [14] Her brother Martin Gannon is a Councillor on Gateshead Council and is currently leader of the Council. [15] [16]
