MP for Blackpool South
“A broadly party‑loyal centre‑left backbench MP who serves on a judiciary committee and has shown occasional independence on welfare issues.”
Chris Webb is the Labour (Co‑op) MP for Blackpool South, elected in May 2024. Since June 2025 he has sat on the Courts (Remote Hearings) Bill committee, engaging with legislation affecting the judiciary and court processes.
Webb shows very high party loyalty (99%) but low voting attendance (15%), with two recorded rebel votes. His voting record largely supports workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, and renter protections, while he tends to vote against harsher prison sentencing. He votes with a mixed pattern on welfare and other reforms, including two notable rebel votes onUniversal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill items in July 2025.
Three declared financial interests: two miscellaneous entries and one entry under gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK.
