MP for St Albans
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Treasury)
“Centrist Lib Dem frontbencher with 100% party loyalty and one notable rebellion on an end‑of‑life bill.”
Daisy Cooper is the Liberal Democrat MP for St Albans, first elected in 2019. She serves as Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for the Treasury and is Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats. She has previously been the party’s spokesperson on Education, Justice, Health and Social Care, and Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and has sat on committees such as Building Safety and Licensing Hours Extensions.
She maintains full party loyalty in votes (with a single rebel vote) and a relatively high attendance figure. On policy, she generally opposes tighter immigration controls and stricter asylum policies, and generally opposes expanding trade union powers, while she has tended to support NHS funding. Her record on individual issues shows a mix of positions on topics like Universal Credit, transgender rights, bus regulation and prison sentencing.
