MP for Bristol North East
“A party-loyal backbencher with very low parliamentary attendance who consistently backs welfare and workers’ rights while opposing immigration and asylum-control measures.”
Damien Egan is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Bristol North East, elected in 2024. He serves on the Work and Pensions Committee and, from 24 June 2025, on the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill committee; he has previously served on committees for the Pension Schemes Bill and the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill.
Egan votes with his party on all issues (100% loyalty) and has no recorded rebel votes. He has a notably low voting attendance rate (16%). His voting patterns show support for workers’ rights protections and transgender rights, while he consistently opposes stricter immigration controls, tighter asylum policies and the Rwanda deportation scheme; he is mixed on welfare-related measures such as Universal Credit and VAT, and generally opposes stricter prison sentencing.
