MP for Oxford East
Anneliese Dodds is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Oxford East, first elected in 2017. She has held senior roles in both government and opposition, including ministerial posts as Minister of State for Development and Minister for Women and Equalities in 2024–2025, and high-profile frontbench roles such as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer (2020–2021) and Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities (2021–2024).
Dodds has 100% party loyalty and a voting attendance above the party average, with four rebel votes on record. Her voting pattern sits on the centre-left: she generally backs NHS funding and stronger trade union powers, while being less likely to support stricter immigration controls or harsher asylum measures, and often opposes increases in prison sentences. She has occasionally voted against her party on specific issues, including amendments to end-of-life care bills and certain policy motions.
Declared eight financial interests: employment and earnings (three entries), ad hoc payments (three entries) and visits outside the UK (two entries).
