MP for Redditch
“A generally party-loyal Labour backbencher with very low voting attendance who has rebelled on Universal Credit measures.”
Chris Bloore is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Redditch, elected in July 2024. He sits on the Business and Trade Committee and the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee, and has previously served on a Mental Health Bill committee in June 2025.
His voting loyalty is very high at 99% (above or equal to the party average of 99%), but his attendance is unusually low at 15% (below the party average of 34%). He has two rebel votes. Overall, he generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, with a mixed record on other issues such as Universal Credit, bus regulation, Protests, mental health, VAT, prison sentencing, transgender rights and renters protections.
Declares two financial interests: one related to employment and earnings, and one in shareholdings.
