Parliamentary Career
In 2001 Kemp was appointed to the Government Whip's Office as a junior whip but was recalled to by-election service in 2004, masterminding, along with his protégé Tom Watson, Labour's victories over the Liberal Democrats in the Hodge Hill by-election on July 15, 2004 and a much more decisive victory in the Hartlepool by-election on September 30, 2004.
Kemp was asked to play a significant role in Labour's preparation for the 2005 General Election.
Kemp retired at the 2010 general election, and his constituency disappeared in boundary changes.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
