MP for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough
“A party-loyal Labour MP with strong attendance who serves on standards and privileges committees and has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life amendments and on a trade deal.”
Gill Furniss is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough, first elected in 2016. She currently serves on the Panel of Chairs and sits on the Committee of Privileges, the Committee on Standards, and the Procedure Committee, having previously held Shadow Minister roles for Transport and for Work and Pensions.
She is highly loyal to the Labour party (100% voting with the party) with attendance well above the party average (65% vs 34%). Her voting record places her in a centrist position (47/100). She generally backs welfare and public service measures such as Universal Credit and bus service regulation, while opposing stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; many other areas show a mixed pattern.
She has three declared financial interests: family members employed, miscellaneous interests, and visits outside the UK.
