“A party-loyal Labour MP who rarely rebels but has notably low parliamentary attendance.”
Andrew Cooper is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Mid Cheshire, elected in July 2024. He serves on several parliamentary committees including the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill committee and the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, and he previously sat on the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill committee. His parliamentary work focuses on security, housing and local government matters.
He shows perfect party loyalty with no recorded rebel votes (100% loyalty, 0 rebels), but his attendance is unusually low at 19% (party average 34%).
