MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North
“A party-loyal backbencher with a centre-left tilt and a background in environmental scrutiny, who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life amendments.”
Alison Taylor is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, elected in July 2024. She previously served on the Environmental Audit Committee (from October 2024 to November 2025) and sits as a backbench MP with a centre-left leaning.
Her voting record shows strong loyalty to the party (98%) but unusually low attendance (9%), and she has four rebel votes. On policy, she has mixed votes on Universal Credit, generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and tends to vote against VAT changes and climate change measures, with limited backing for expanding mental health services.
She has declared nine financial interests, including four shareholdings, three miscellaneous interests, and two land/property entries (within or outside the UK).
