MP for Barnsley North
Minister of State (Cabinet Office)
“A centrist, highly loyal Labour MP who regularly attends Parliament and has taken on senior security- and government-focused roles.”
Dan Jarvis is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Barnsley North, first elected in 2011. He has held ministerial roles in the Home Office (since July 2024) and the Cabinet Office (since September 2025), and his parliamentary work has focused on security and national policy through his committee and shadow roles.
Jarvis votes consistently with his party (100% loyalty) and attends more votes than many MPs (62% attendance, above the party average). He has voted in a few notable clashes with the party on 2019 Brexit-related business, but otherwise shows a centre-ground record: generally in favour of Universal Credit and NHS funding, and generally against stricter immigration or asylum measures, with mixed votes on VAT, transgender rights and trade union powers.
Declares four financial interests: two related to donations and other support for his activities as an MP, and two miscellaneous entries.
