MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich
Solicitor General (Attorney General's Office)
“Party-loyal Labour MP and Solicitor General who rarely rebels and consistently backs public services and workers' rights.”
Ellie Reeves is a Labour and Co-operative MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich, first elected in 2017. She has held various justice- and governance-focused roles in opposition and government, and since September 2025 serves as Solicitor General in the Attorney General's Office. She is also the Labour Party Chair, a role she has held since July 2024.
Reeves votes with her party on almost all occasions (100% loyalty) and has attendance above the party average (58% vs 34%). Her record shows support for Universal Credit, NHS funding, bus services regulation and trade union powers, while she generally opposes tighter immigration controls and the asylum system, with mixed positions on VAT and transgender rights. She has one notable rebel vote against the party on a 2018 motion about runway capacity.
She has two declared financial interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and miscellaneous entries.
