Stephen Kinnock Politician

Stephen Nathan Kinnock (born 1 January 1970, Tredegar) is the husband of Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and a British executive who has held various senior positions with the British Council prior to joining the World Economic Forum in January 2009 as director, head of Europe and Central Asia. On the Xynteo website he is listed as 'managing director of the GLTE partnership', a green lobbying organisation.Stephen Kinnock describes himself as from a 'Labour and Trade Union family'. That is, he is the son of Neil Kinnock, former leader of the Labour Party and ex-chair of the British Council, and Glenys Kinnock, a former Labour Member of the European Parliament and Minister of State (2009–10) at the UK Foreign Office.He is married to the Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning-Schmidt. They met in their twenties while working in Brussels and married in a civil ceremony in 1996. However, they live separate lives with Stephen Kinnock only spending weekends in Copenhagen (fewer than 33 per year, according to his wife's tax return, although she later claimed 'every weekend of the year' when applying to have her husband registered as co-owner of their house) leading to some speculation on the nature of the marriage or allegations of tax evasion.
