Political Career
Prior to the foundation of the Progressive Party UK, the Baron of Chesterton began his career as a Scottish Labour MSP for Edinburgh and Scottish Shadow Education Secretary, as well as a member of the national Labour Party Shadow Cabinet firstly as Shadow Northern Powerhouse Minister and later the Shadow Democratic Reform Secretary.
After the ascent of the Scottish Progressives to government in December 2020, Model-Eddy was appointed to be Education Secretary and later Deputy First Minister of Scotland. Model-Eddy also briefly served as a Member of the Senedd for South Wales East after being elected in the December 2020 Senedd election. He was later appointed Cabinet Minister for Communities and Local Government.
In January 2021 following the PPUK-SATUP merge to form the Progressive Workers Party, Eddy became interim Co-leader of the national party and was succeeded by JJRoamer in both Welsh positions following JJ's ascent to co-leader of the Welsh Workers Party in late January 2021.
