Owen Smith
Owen Smith (born 2 May 1970) is a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Pontypridd from 2010 to 2019. Before being elected to Parliament, Smith worked as a radio and television producer for the BBC, as a special adviser for Welsh Secretary Paul Murphy, and as a political lobbyist for Pfizer. Smith went on to serve as Shadow Welsh Secretary under Ed Miliband from 2012 until 2015, and then as Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary under Jeremy Corbyn from 2015 until he resigned in June 2016. On 13 July 2016, he contested the leadership of the Labour Party and was defeated. After the 2017 general election, Corbyn appointed Smith as Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. He was sacked from this post on 23 March 2018 after he publicly called for a referendum on the final Brexit deal, a position that was against Labour party policy of the time (the party adopted this position the following year). He has been described as being on the soft left of the Labour Party, with Kevin Maguire of the Daily Mirror noting Smith's politics "largely overlap when it comes to policy" with Corbyn's.

Owen Smith & Robert Quinn: Contest encourages kids to not drive distracted

DISTRACTED DRIVING is not a new problem, but it remains a serious one. It is, however, a problem that we can all combat together. It is as easy as putting away your phone while you are behind the wheel, setting an example for young drivers, and emphasizing one very simple message: no text, photo, email or social media post is worth a life — it can wait.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Owen Smith, Coeur d'Alene High School

The 6-foot-2 senior forward scored nine of his 13 points in the first quarter as Coeur d'Alene beat visiting Post Falls for the first time in five years, 49-42 in 5A Inland Empire League boys basketball Saturday. "A lot of people overlook Owen," Coeur d'Alene coach Jon Adams said. "Owen is that guy that every coach wants on his team because he could care less about stats … he does all the dirty work. But, he’s also a very talented scorer. He’s aggressive, he’s a good rebounder and he’s a great defender. So, you overlook Owen and that’s what happens. He can really play. He was a huge spark for us."
