Robert William Henry Seely[3] MBE (born 1 June 1966), known as Bob Seely, is a British Conservative Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Isle of Wight since June 2017.[4] He was re-elected at the general election in December 2019 with an increased vote and majority.

Early life and career[]

Seely was educated in North London at Arnold House School and Harrow School.

Journalism, policy and media[]

From 1990 to 1994, Seely worked as a foreign correspondent in Eastern Europe as a stringer for The Times newspaper. He first visited what was then the USSR in early 1990, witnessing the first celebrations of Easter in western Ukraine since Soviet occupation after World War II, and also early Chernobyl disaster protests in Kiev that year. He filed an initial batch of reports and was invited by the newspaper to return permanently from 1990 to 1994.

During his tenure in the country, Seely reported from most of the republics or new nations: Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia (including Nagorny Karabakh), Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. During this time, he made visits to the Balkans, including Sarajevo and Kosovo.

In the final year in the former USSR, Seely became a Special Correspondent for The Washington Post. He then spent a year in the United States writing a book, Deadly Embrace, on Russia's role in the Caucasus. During this time, he was a fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute. 

Seely was a personal assistant to Shaun Woodward, until Woodward's defection to the Labour Party in 1999.[5] Following this, in 2000, he worked at Conservative Central Office as an adviser of foreign affairs to Michael Howard, Francis Maude and Sir Malcolm Rifkind.[citation needed]

Military[]

From 2008 onwards, Seely served in the UK Armed Forces.  He was mobilised or placed on Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) for nearly a decade until his selection as a parliamentary candidate in the 2017 election, at which time he resigned his full-time service and returned to the Army Reserve.

As a sergeant, he was awarded a Joint Commanders Commendation in 2009 for his tour of Iraq and a Military MBE in the 2016 Operational Awards and Honours List whilst serving in the Intelligence Corps.[6]

Academia[]

Seely has been a research associate at the Changing Character of War Programme at the University of Oxford.[7] He has contributed to the King's College War Studies blog,[8] Oxford Politics Department blog,[9] The Washington Post's social sciences blog,[10] Prospect magazine and RUSI Journal, published by the Royal United Services Institute.[11]

Political career[]

Seely's political career began as a personal assistant to Shaun Woodward, until Woodward's defection to the Labour Party in 1999.[12] Following this he worked at Conservative Central Office as an adviser of foreign affairs to Michael Howard, Francis Maude and Sir Malcolm Rifkind.

Elections[]

Seely at the 2017 General Election count at his Isle of Wight constituency

In 2005, Seely stood at the Broxtowe constituency but lost to the sitting Labour MP Nick Palmer by 2,296 votes.[13]

In 2013, he was elected for the Central Wight ward on the Isle of Wight Council for the Conservatives, and retained the seat in 2017. After the decision by sitting Conservative MP Andrew Turner to stand down at the 2017 general election, Seely was selected as the candidate for the Isle of Wight seat and gained 38,190 votes, which was 51.3% of the vote. During his campaign, he suggested that were he to be elected, he would campaign for improvements to the Island Line rail network.[14] He resigned as a county Councillor in late 2017.[15][failed verification]

In Parliament[]

In his maiden speech, he called for a better deal for the Isle of Wight from Government.[16] The "They Work For You" website describes Seely as "an occasional rebel".[17] Seely has voted against Government over the 10pm Covid curfew, and was one of the leaders of the Huawei rebellion in March 2020 that forced a change of direction in Government policy. He also campaigned for the Government to make changes to proposed housing and planning laws, to improve the provision of affordable housing and to prevent greenfield sprawl.[18] Seely voted in favour of the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Bill at the second debate on 16 March 2021. The Bill was considered controversial in media reports, in part due to the perceived restrictions it would place on protests and protestors. Seely was subsequently criticised in local media coverage. Reference was made to his support for the Bill in light of his track-record in supporting protests in Hong Kong concerning the Chinese government.[19]

Seely's first vote as a Member of Parliament took place on 28 June 2017, where he voted against removing the pay cap for police and fire services. This was deemed controversial by some following his comments during his election campaign where he praised the emergency services following the fire at Grenfell Tower.[20]

On 12 July 2017 Seely established the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for UK Islands, to promote the interests of islands around the UK. The APPG aimed to encourage MPs and Peers from all political parties to join together to lobby government for their respective islands.[21]

In October 2018 a BBC article revealed Bob Seely had accepted two free overseas trips abroad costing £4,410, which included a trip to Bahrain paid for by its government.[22][23]

Seely was appointed the position of Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Ministerial team at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in January 2019.[24] On 16 July 2019 Seely resigned from this position following his decision to vote against Government over HS2.[25][26]

On 31 May 2019, Seely wrote an article for CapX stating that he was supporting Michael Gove in his bid to become leader of the Conservative Party.[27]

In the 2019 general election, Seely was re-elected with 56.2% of the votes cast.

Committees and foreign affairs[]

In February 2018, he was elected by his Conservative colleagues to sit on the cross-party Foreign Affairs Select Committee, whose remit is to examine the expenditure, administration and policy of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).[28] In July 2018 Seely was elected to the Committees on Arms Export Controls.[29]

In September 2018, in an article for ConservativeHome, Seely outlined the 10 measures the Security Minister Ben Wallace should consider in order to respond to and deter the "subversive activities of Russia". These included: creating a small, permanent multi-agency group to understand and expose foreign subversive activities, introduce a UK Foreign Agents Act to ensure PR agencies, reputation management firms and others who work as agents for foreign states are listed as such, changes to the UK visa regime, strengthen OFCOM powers and a Royal Commission to understand the threat to our electoral system by cyber infiltration and fake news.[30]

In October 2018, Seely hosted a press conference in parliament, in conjunction with the online investigative journalist website Bellingcat, to announce the identity of the second Skripal assassin suspect.[31][32] Seely placed Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, in the neoconservative Henry Jackson Society, where Mark Urban, who was working with Skripal up to a year before his poisoning, Sir Richard Dearlove, the ex-head of the British MI6, leaders of the Atlantic Council and James Woolsey, the former director of the CIA, congregate.[33]

He writes for the online sites ConservativeHome,[34] CapX and the Spectator online on foreign affairs.[citation needed]

Island Manifesto[]

Seely's manifesto, A Vision for the Island, was published a year after he entered parliament, in July 2018.[35] In it, Seely set out how he believed that the Isle of Wight should develop over the coming decades, and covers areas such as housing, transport, health and education.[36] Seely commented: "I offer a vision of what we should aim to achieve to make our Island even better. My role is often to support others, to make connections in Westminster and Whitehall – and to bring people together".

Global Britain Study[]

On 11 February 2019, Seely co-authored a report on British foreign policy, post-Brexit, Global Britain: A Twenty-First Century Vision.[37] In it, Seely and co-author James Rogers recommended a restructuring of overseas policy. The recommendations were:

  • Establish a National Strategy Council to oversee a National Global Strategy to better integrate the work of the FCO and MoD, among other parts of government.
  • Integrate the Department of International trade and the Department for International Development into the FCO as agencies to improve integration in Whitehall.
  • Structure British global policy around the promotion of three great, fundamental freedoms: Freedom for Trade, Freedom from Oppression, and Freedom of Thought.
  • Strengthen greater cooperation with Australia, Canada and New Zealand (the so-called "CANZUK" group).
  • Champion the international order by greater investment in the United Nations.
  • Redefine the definition of international aid to allow the UK to fund an expanded BBC World Service and all Ministry of Defence peacekeeping operations.

Russian Hybrid Warfare[]

In a June 2018, Seely produced once of the few comprehensive definitions of Russian hybrid war, in a paper entitled: "A Definition of Contemporary Russian Conflict: how does the Kremlin Wage War?"[38] The peer reviewed paper was produced by the Henry Jackson Society and presented in an event in the House of Commons on 4 June.[39]

Seely used the term "Contemporary Russian Conflict" to describe both the overt and covert forms of influence used by the Kremlin. He described modern Russian conflict as "a sophisticated and integrated form of state influence closely linked to political objectives. It has, at its core, the KGB toolkit of 'Active Measures' – political warfare – around which has been wrapped a full spectrum of state tools."[38]

Investigation into Huawei[]

On 16 May 2019, Seely co-authored, with Peter Varnish and John Hemmings, an investigation into the Chinese tech giant Huawei and its possible role in the development of 5G.[40] The report, published by the Henry Jackson Society, recommended barring Huawei from involvement in the UK's 5G infrastructure network. The report was endorsed by both Sir Richard Dearlove and former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.[41]

The investigation concluded:

  • Huawei was subordinate to China's 2017 National Intelligence Law and was obliged to assist China's intelligence agencies in operations, research and development. Despite claims to the contrary, it would be likely to be compelled to act in Beijing's interests by the CCP leadership.
  • Huawei's claims to be a private company are highly problematic, as it is 98% owned by a trade union committee. Huawei acts like – and is treated like – a state-owned enterprise by Chinese state- banks.
  • Huawei has on many occasions been accused of having an active or passive role in espionage and has worked with Chinese security forces in Xinjiang province, where many individuals are under surveillance or in re-education camps.
  • Huawei should be treated as a high-risk vendor.[42]

Surkov Leaks Report[]

In July 2019, Seely co-authored, with Aliya Shandra, a report into Surkov Leaks.[43]

"Breaking the China Supply Chain" report[]

Seely contributed to an April 2020 study examining the strategic trade dependency on China of the "Five Eyes" group of nations.[44] The report coincided with a letter written by Seely and a group of UK Conservative MPs to request the Government be legally required to update Parliament annually on the UK's strategic trade dependency on China and potentially other nations.[44] The letter — which cited the Henry Jackson Society report — was signed by 21 MPs.[44]

Coronavirus pandemic[]

In early May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government announced that a contact-tracing app would be trialled on the Isle of Wight, a move for which Seely had lobbied Government.[45][46] Prior to the lockdown, Seely had warned ministers to ensure the emergency supply to the island, and threatened to amend legislation unless the Government acted. Shortly after, the Department of Transport, the Isle of Wight Council and the IOW Transport Infrastructure Board, announced an emergency package to support the island.[47]

Tens of thousands of people downloaded the app in the initial period, some of whom were off-island. Seely believed that after three weeks or so of the app's use on the island, approximately 55,000 islanders had downloaded it out of 80,000 who were able to do so, equating to a rate of about 70 percent.[48]

In a subsequent article on Conservative Home, Seely argued that working with central Government to pilot national schemes was the best way to ensure the Isle of Wight was able to be at the cutting edge of innovative tech to improve its quality of life, especially in healthcare.[46] He cited the use of drones to supply St Mary's Hospital and money for the island's telemedicine project.

On 22 May 2020, Seely and his girlfriend attended a gathering in the village of Seaview to speak with Freddy Gray, deputy editor of The Spectator. By attending, Seely breached social distancing restrictions. He stated that he had gone to speak with Gray regarding his article about the app. Seely apologised two weeks later, saying that "I called this wrong" and that he "only had half a sausage" whilst in the garden and did not enter the house.[49][50]

On 11 June 2020, The Times quoted Seely in a report that the NHS app may have had a role in suppressing the virus on the Isle of Wight. Seely told his local County Press newspaper that the analysis needed more research to ensure its accuracy. "In blunt terms", he said, "this is the best evidence we may get that the app saved lives of Islanders".[51] On the same day, Seely spoke on a House of Commons debate on zoos, welcoming their reopening following the COVID-19 lockdown, and urging the UK Government to support zoos and animal sanctuaries on the island.[52]

Labour MP Sarah Owen who accused Trevelyan of Sinophobia over her WhatsApp message

Sinophobia Allegations[]

In May 2020, Seely was involved in a Sinophobia allegation against fellow Conservative MP Anne Marie Trevelyan. Labour MP and first British female MP of Chinese descent Sarah Owen accused Trevelyan of Sinophobia after Trevelyan posted a WhatsApp message of a split fortune cookie, saying "You not have coronavirus", captioned "Just received my Covid-19 rapid test kit from China. Soooooo relieved!", with a follow-up message of "Just for Bob" and a winking emoji referring to Seely, who responded by sending a love heart and smiling emoji. Owen said: "If Anne-Marie Trevelyan doesn't understand why this sort of humour was left in the 1970s, I would be happy to explain it to her." Trevelyan responded to Owen by saying: "It was not my intent to cause any offence, and I am truly sorry if I did so". Seely responded to Owen by saying: "It was a well-meaning joke at my expense and I didn't think anything of it", referring to his campaign against the Chinese tech company Huawei.[53][54]

Personal life[]

Seely was born to an English father and German mother, and was educated in London at Arnold House School and Harrow. He comes from a family long involved in politics. His great-great-uncle, J. E. B. Seely (later created 1st Baron Mottistone), was MP for the Isle of Wight between 1900 and 1906 and again between 1923 and 1924.

In 1995 Seely was briefly married to Nata Rashimas.[55][56]

He is a keen swimmer and has swum the Solent twice for charity, most recently in August 2018 to raise funds for the West Wight Sports and Community Centre.[57]

In July 2018 Seely took part in the parade for Isle of Wight Pride, where he was joined by Conchita Wurst. In an interview with Pink News following the event, Seely stated that he felt that "for dictators, gays are the new Jews".[58]

On 30 December 2018 Seely wrote an article for Conservative Home expressing his concern over the Chinese state ownership of the dating app Grindr. He said that the Chinese state were very likely to have access to highly sensitive sexual information relating to over 3 million people who used the dating app daily.[59]

Seely is a guitar player and in an article in PoliticsHome in March 2019 was noted as having an acoustic guitar on hand to play whilst in his Westminster office. In the same article Seely was quoted as saying that "representing the island is like being married to the right woman".[60]
