About This MP

AI-generated

“A Labour (Co-op) MP with largely party-aligned voting who sits on the Health and Social Care Committee and has notable rebellions on end‑of‑life legislation.”

Ben Coleman is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Chelsea and Fulham, first elected in 2024. He sits on the Health and Social Care Committee.

Voting Patterns

Coleman shows very high party loyalty (around 99%), but has a markedly low attendance rate (about 15% of votes). He has rebelled against his party on a series of amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025. Generally, he votes in favour of workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, supports measures on bus services regulation and renter protections, and tends to back mental health services and VAT changes, while often voting against transgender rights; his record on prison sentencing is mixed.
