Formerly the DJ at West Street Live in Sheffield, he won Sheffield Hallam (the seat I grew up in) for Labour from Nick Clegg in 2017. O'Mara's victory came with a great deal of assistance from Momentum, who targeted the seat in order to oust the hated Clegg.

Those of you who remember the coalition may have thought that this would have been an improvement. Nothing could be further from the truth. O'Mara has done little to no work, had the whip withdrawn by Labour after details of his past behavior came out and been a total embarrassment to the city. He's hanging on as MP for what appears to be purely financial reasons in spite of being clearly not up to the task.
