MP for Hammersmith and Chiswick
“A long‑serving Labour backbencher with near‑total party loyalty who has nonetheless rebelled on Brexit‑related bills.”
Andy Slaughter is the Labour Co‑operative MP for Hammersmith and Chiswick, first elected in 2005. He currently sits on the Justice Committee, the National Security Strategy Joint Committee and the Liaison Committee, and has previously served as Shadow Solicitor General and as Shadow Minister for Justice.
His voting record shows 100% party loyalty and a high attendance (78%), well above the party average. He generally supports NHS funding and Universal Credit, and tends to vote against tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; his positions on transgender rights, VAT changes and trade unions are more mixed. This aligns with a centre‑left profile with occasional independence on major issues like Brexit.
Declared financial interests: Miscellaneous (1 entry).
