MP for Tooting
“A loyal Labour backbencher who occasionally breaks ranks on welfare and immigration policy.”
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Tooting, first elected in 2016. She currently sits on the Panel of Chairs and has previously served as a Shadow Minister for Mental Health and for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with additional committee involvement including the Draft Mental Health Bill Joint Committee and the International Development Committee.
She shows very high party loyalty (99%) and votes in favour of the party on most issues, with attendance above her party average (51% vs 33%). She has eight rebel votes overall, including several on Universal Credit and related welfare bills in 2025, and a 2019 vote on Common Market 2.0. Her voting on VAT changes, transgender rights, and prison sentencing has been mixed, and she generally opposed tougher immigration controls, the asylum system, and the Rwanda deportation scheme.
Declared financial interests include 14 entries: ad hoc payments and ongoing paid employment, donations and other MP activity support, visits outside the UK, and gifts/benefits from UK sources.
