MP for Barnsley North
Minister of State (Cabinet Office)
“A centrist Labour MP who is highly loyal to his party and has risen to senior ministerial roles in the Home Office and Cabinet Office, with a small number of Brexit-related rebellions.”
Dan Jarvis is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Barnsley North, first elected in 2011. He is currently Minister of State at the Cabinet Office, a role he has held since September 2025, after serving as Minister of State at the Home Office from July 2024. In Parliament, he has held shadow minister roles in justice and foreign affairs, and has worked on security-focused committees before entering government.
He shows near-total party loyalty (100%), with voting attendance above average (61% vs party average 34%), and a small number of rebel votes (3). His record places him broadly in the centre, voting for Universal Credit, NHS funding, and bus service regulation, while opposing immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; VAT changes, transgender rights, and trade union powers show a mix of positions.
Has four declared financial interests: two entries relate to donations and other support (including loans) connected to his activities as an MP, and two miscellaneous entries.
