MP for Tooting
“Mostly party-loyal backbencher with a health- and welfare-focused record who has occasionally rebelled on welfare-related bills.”
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 held shadow ministerial roles in mental health, culture, media and sport, and digital policy, with involvement in the International Development Committee. Her parliamentary work has focused on health, welfare and social policy.
Her voting pattern shows very high party loyalty at 99%, with an attendance rate of 49% (above the party average of 34%), and 8 rebel votes. She generally backs NHS funding and Universal Credit, while opposing stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. Her votes on VAT changes, transgender rights, asylum policy, trade union powers and prison sentencing are mixed, placing her on the centre-left of the party.
She has 14 declared financial interests, including ad hoc payments to activities as an MP, donations and other support for MP activities, visits outside the UK, ongoing paid employment, and gifts or hospitality from UK sources.
