MP for Liverpool Walton
“A party-loyal Labour MP who has occasionally rebelled on terminally ill end‑of‑life amendments.”
Dan Carden is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Liverpool Walton, elected in 2017. He currently serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee and has previously held roles such as Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury in 2020. He is a backbench MP with strong party loyalty and a track record of occasional rebellion, notably on end-of-life amendments in 2025.
Carden shows high party loyalty and comparatively strong attendance, voting with his party on most matters. He has cast a small number of rebel votes (6) and sits on the centre-left of the spectrum. He often balances votes across social welfare and public services with a tendency to oppose stricter controls in immigration and asylum policy.
