MP for Thurrock
Jen Craft is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Thurrock, first elected in July 2024. She sits on the Health and Social Care Committee and on the committee for the Controlled Drugs (Procedure for Specification) Bill, and she previously served on the Mental Health Bill [HL] committee in June 2025.
She shows high party loyalty (98%) but has unusually low attendance (14% versus the party average of 33%), with five rebel votes. Her political position is centre-left (36/100). On key votes, she has generally supported trade union powers, workers’ rights protections, and renter protections, and has generally voted for VAT changes, while often voting against expanding prison sentencing and, to a lesser extent, against certain mental health service measures; she has shown a mixed pattern on climate change measures, transgender rights, and bus regulation.
