MP for Oxford East
“A largely party‑loyal Labour MP with a small number of notable rebellions on social policy and constitutional questions.”
Anneliese Dodds is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Oxford East, first elected in 2017. She has served as a government minister, including roles as Minister of State for Women and Equalities and for Development in 2024–2025, and has held senior opposition positions such as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and chairing Labour policy work. Her career spans frontline parliamentary work for Oxford East alongside leadership roles within the Labour Party.
Dodds votes consistently with her party and has a high attendance record. She has four recorded rebel votes. Her voting places her on the centre-left, with strong support for NHS funding and trade union powers, and opposition to stricter immigration controls, tighter asylum measures, the Rwanda deportation scheme, and harsher prison sentencing.

She has declared financial interests including earnings from employment and ad hoc payments, and a number of visits outside the UK.
