MP for St Albans
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Treasury)
“A centrist Liberal Democrat deputy leader and Treasury spokesperson who is very party-loyal, with only a single rebel vote on end-of-life legislation.”
Daisy Cooper is the Liberal Democrat MP for St Albans, first elected in 2019. She serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for the Treasury and has been Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats since 2020, with prior Lib Dem spokesperson roles across Health and Social Care, Education, Justice and other areas.
She has a 100% party loyalty score and a voting attendance of 46% (above the party average). Her record shows a mix of positions: generally supports NHS funding, while repeatedly voting against tighter immigration controls, stricter asylum rules, changes to VAT, and the Rwanda deportation scheme. On some issues her votes are mixed, including transgender rights and bus services regulation, and she has a few independent stances such as the end-of-life clause noted as a rebel vote.
