MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich
Solicitor General (Attorney General's Office)
“A loyal Labour MP who rarely rebels and now helps steer justice policy from a senior legal role.”
Ellie Reeves is a Labour MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich, first elected in 2017. She currently serves as Solicitor General in the Attorney General’s Office (since September 2025) and has been Labour Party Chair since July 2024. Her career includes multiple justice-focused roles, including Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office) in 2024–2025 and various frontbench and committee positions related to law and justice.
She shows strong party loyalty (100%) with attendance above the party average (57%). She has just one rebel vote. Her record sits on the centre-left: she generally backs welfare and NHS funding, supports trade unions, and favours regulation of public services, while opposing stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; VAT and transgender-rights votes are more mixed, and she tends to oppose tougher prison sentencing.
She has two declared financial interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and miscellaneous entries.
