Early life and education
Patrick Diamond was brought up and schooled in Leeds. He worked as a kibbutz volunteer on Kibbutz Lahav in Israel in the spring of 1994. After graduating from Clare College, Cambridge, with a double first-class honours in Social and Political Sciences and an MPhil from the Cambridge Institute of Criminology, Diamond was elected as the National Chair of Labour Students from May 1998 - April 1999. While attending Cambridge University, Diamond was Chair of the Cambridge University Labour Club during the 1997 general election.
Political and academic career
Following a brief stint at Finsbury Financial Communications and the Institute for Public Policy Research, Diamond was appointed as Director of the Labour Party organization and magazine Progress. In late 2000, he was made Special Adviser to the then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Peter Mandelson MP.
In 2001 Diamond bid for election to Lambeth Council, though failed to win a seat in the 2002 Lambeth Council election. From June 2001-September 2004, Diamond was a member of the Number 10 Policy Unit with particular responsibility for the government's public service reform agenda. In the run-up to the 2005 general election, Diamond worked as a special adviser to the election co-ordinator, Alan Milburn MP, leading the management of the Labour Party's manifesto and preparation of the government's third-term policy programme.
In 2004, there was speculation that Diamond would seek selection as a parliamentary candidate, though this speculation remained unrealised.[1]
After the Labour Party's victory in the 2005 General Election, Diamond was appointed as Director of the think tank Policy Network and took on a number of academic positions. He was a Transatlantic Fellow of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, senior visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance at the London School of Economics and Political Science, a lecturer at the Oxford University Faculty of Continuing Education and a visiting fellow at the University of Northumbria. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was a member of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation advisory board.
From August 2007-April 2009, Diamond was the Group Director of Strategy at the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Manchester and London.
In the May 2010 local council election, Diamond was elected as a Labour Councillor for the ward of Newington in the London Borough of Southwark.[2]
Despite his association with Labour government since 1997, Diamond has expressed frustration at the speed and pace of policy change under New Labour.[3]
