MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North
“A Labour Co‑op backbencher with a centre‑left tilt who has shown independence by rebelling on End of Life Bill amendments.”
Alison Taylor is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, elected in July 2024. She has served on the Environmental Audit Committee from 28 October 2024 to 17 November 2025.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (98%) but unusually low attendance (9%, well below the party average of 34%). She has four rebel votes and sits around the centre-left on the political spectrum (41/100). On policy, she generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, while voting against measures such as protest rights, mental health services funding, VAT changes and prison sentencing; her record on Universal Credit is mixed.
There are nine declared financial interests, including shareholdings, miscellaneous entries, and land or property holdings (within or outside the UK).
