MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford
“A party-loyal Labour backbencher with a strong focus on workers' rights who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
Daniel Francis is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford, elected in 2024. He sits on the Modernisation Committee (from December 2025) and on the Controlled Drugs (Procedure for Specification) Bill committee (from June 2025), and has previously served on the Railways Bill committee (January–February 2026) and the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill committee (January–March 2025).
His voting loyalty is very high (99%), while his voting attendance is notably low (17%), well below the party average of 34%. He sits on the centre-left of the spectrum (36/100). He generally backs workers' rights protections and trade union powers, and supports protest rights and renter protections, while his votes on other issues are more mixed, including Universal Credit, mental health services, transgender rights, VAT and bus services regulation; he has generally voted against prison sentencing.
Declares three financial interests: a family member engaged in third-party lobbying; a miscellaneous interest; and shareholdings.
