MP for Rutland and Stamford
Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Home Office)
Alicia Kearns is the Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, first elected in 2019. She currently serves as the Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Home Office) and as an Opposition Whip, and sits on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. Her previous roles include multiple foreign affairs and security committees, reflecting a background in international and security issues.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (92%–98% range in practice, with the overall party average at 99%), alongside below-average attendance (around 47% vs 56% for the party). She has 16 rebel votes and sits on the centre-right of the spectrum (56/100). Her record on key topics is mixed: she has voted a mixture of aye and no on immigration controls, Universal Credit, VAT, asylum, trade unions, transgender rights and bus services regulation; she generally voted against the Rwanda deportation scheme and has tended to support prison sentencing.
