MP for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard
“A transport-focused Labour MP with near-total party loyalty, a rare rebel vote, and a record of backing workers’ rights and renter protections.”
Alex Mayer is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, elected in July 2024. She currently sits on the Transport Committee and is a member of the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill committee, reflecting a focus on transport and public services. In early 2026 she served on the Finance (No. 2) Bill committee as part of her parliamentary work.
She shows very high party loyalty at 100% but a notably low attendance rate of 16% compared with the party average of 33%. Her voting record includes strong support for trade union powers and workers’ rights protections, as well as support for renter protections; she tends to vote against further regulation in areas such as bus services and prison sentencing. She has a single rebel vote in favour of an end-of-life bill amendment in 2025.
Declared financial interests include two miscellaneous entries, one gift or benefit from sources outside the UK, and land or property interests.
