Caroline was born on 20 September 1961 at a home for unmarried mothers in Twickenham, Middlesex. Her mother, Wendy Beasley, was a typist who gave birth to her at 17-years old.[1][2] Caroline never knew her father's identity, but she was adopted at 2 year-old by TV technician Peter Flint after he married her mother. She grew-up in a one-bedroom flat with her parents and half-brother and sister, but lost contact with Peter after he divorced her mother during her early teens. After becoming a heavy drinker, Wendy died from liver failure at the age of 45.[2]
Flint began her career at the Inner London Education Authority, where she was management trainee from 1984 to 1985 and policy officer from 1985 to 1987.[6] She was head of the women's unit at the National Union of Students from 1988 to 1989. Flint worked at Lambeth Council as an equal opportunities Officer from 1989 to 1991, and a welfare and staff development officer from 1991 to 1993.[6] She was a senior researcher and political officer for the trade union GMB from 1994 to 1997.[6]
In January 2008, Flint was promoted to attend the Cabinet of the United Kingdom as Minister of State for Housing and Planning. She was also appointed to the Privy Council.[5] During her tenure in the role, Flint suggested unemployed council tenants should "actively seek work" as a condition of their occupancy.[14] She once inadvertently revealed house price forecasts when her briefing papers were visible to the press.[15]
Flint moved roles to become Minister of State for Europe in the October 2008 government reshuffle. Although remaining a Cabinet attendee, she was now only entitled to attend when her brief was on the agenda.[3] Flint notably oversaw the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty into UK law in her role, and was criticised for admitting to not fully reading the document.[16]
She resigned from government after the June 2009 reshuffle, asserting that Brown ran a "two-tier government" and treated her as "female window dressing".[17] Flint renewed her attack on Brown in a subsequent Observer article, complaining of "constant pressure" and "negative bullying".[18]
In an investigation following the 2009 expenses scandal, she was required to repay £572 in over-claimed expenses.[19] Flint voted in-favour of legislation which would have kept MPs' expense details secret.[20]
Shadow Cabinet Minister and Deputy Leadership (2010–2015)
She campaigned for Remain during the 2016 EU referendum, in opposition to her leave-voting constituency.[26][27] Following the vote, Flint called for acceptance of the result to "allow the voices of her constituents to be heard".[28] She supported Owen Smith in the failed attempt to replace Jeremy Corbyn in the subsequent Labour leadership election.[29]
Flint was a frequent rebel against the Labour leadership's Brexit position, defying the party whip on several votes to support the government and oppose pro-EU bills and amendments.[30][31] She was one of six Labour MPs to vote in favour of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit withdrawal agreement.[32][33][28]
Following flooding in her constituency in November 2019, she called on the Prime Minister to declare a national emergency to provide financial help to affected families.[34][35]
Flint lost her seat at the 2019 general election to Conservative candidate Nick Fletcher.[36] She attributed the defeat to Corbyn's leadership,[37][38] criticising the party for losing public trust and being too city-centric and anti-Brexit.[39] In a later interview, she claimed that shadow cabinet minister Emily Thornberry had called northern Brexit voters "stupid".[40] Thornberry denied the allegation and threatened legal action against Flint.[41] Following her election defeat, she was described by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as "first-rate" and mentioned by Cabinet Minister Michael Gove as the Labour Leader he would have feared most.[42][43]
She made several appearances on GB News from August 2021,[46] but ceased to appear several months later.[47]
Personal life
Flint's first marriage was to Saief Zammel, a Tunisian stockbroker, with whom she had a son, Karim, and daughter, Hanna.[48][49] In 1990, she divorced Zammel, who was charged with violent disorder and later deported from England after an incident involving her.[50]
She remarried to Phil Cole, a PR professional and former Labour Party officer, in July 2001. Flint later employed him as her constituency office manager, and he has been a Member of Doncaster Council since 2012.[51][52] They reside in Sprotbrough, South Yorkshire.[53][54]
Along with several other Labour women MPs, she was a member of a tap dancing troupe known as the Division Belles.[55]
