Julian Leon Huppert (born 21 July 1978) is a Liberal Democrat politician in the United Kingdom and Member of Parliament for Cambridge since 2010. He succeeded the previously elected David Howarth, who stood down after one term.

The son of two academics (his father is the Australian-born geophysicist Herbert Huppert), Huppert has lived in Cambridge since he was a small child. Having attended The Perse School in the city, Huppert went on to study at Cambridge University, completing a BA (2000) and then a PhD (2005) in Biological Chemistry at Trinity College. He was elected a Junior Research Fellow of Trinity in 2004, and became a fellow of Clare College in 2009 (the College at which the previous Liberal Democrat MP for the city, David Howarth, was a member). He is also a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and the Institute of Physics (MInstP). He worked as a research scientist studying the structures of DNA as well as tutoring students.

During his eight years serving as a County Councillor for Cambridge's East Chesterton area, Huppert helped open Brown's Field Community Centre, chaired the Cambridge Traffic Management Committee and served on the Regional Assembly. His interests in internationalism, the UN and human rights have led him to his position on the National Council of Liberty, formerly the National Council for Civil Liberties, from which he has since stood down.

Mark John Reckless (born 6 December 1970) is a British Conservative Party politician who is the Member of Parliament for Rochester and Strood, elected at the 2010 general election.

He graduated in PPE from Oxford University; he also has an MBA from Columbia Business School. He trained as a barrister at the College of Law, gaining an LLB, and was called to the Bar in 2007.

Reckless apologised for missing a budget vote because he was too drunk to vote during a late night sitting of the House of Commons.

On 10 December 2010, Reckless voted against the coalition government on raising tuition fees.

Reckless is rated as one of the Conservatives' most rebellious MPs.

Reckless is the grandson of Henry McDevitt, a Fianna Fáil TD for Donegal East in the Dáil Éireann from 1938 until 1943. On 1 October 2011 he married Catriona Brown at Westminster Cathedral, with a reception held at the Palace of Westminster.
