Tom Braddock

Thomas Braddock (1887 – 9 December 1976) was a British politician.[1] He was Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Mitcham from 1945 to 1950, when he was defeated by the Conservative Robert Carr.[1][2]

Before the war he had contested the very-Conservative Wimbledon seat in 1931 and 1935, being heavily beaten.

He subsequently stood, without success, for the Kingston-upon-Thames constituency in the 1959 and 1964 general elections, on both occasions failing to unseat the Conservative incumbent, John Boyd-Carpenter, and one final time in Wimbledon in 1966.
