MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey
Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Energy Security and Net Zero)
“A party-loyal SNP MP with a clear focus on energy, science and transport portfolios who rarely rebels in votes.”
Graham Leadbitter is the SNP MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey, elected in 2024. He currently serves as Shadow SNP Spokesperson for Energy Security and Net Zero, and also as Shadow Spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology and Transport. He sits on the Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Bill committee since June 2025.
His voting record shows strong party loyalty with 100% alignment with the SNP and zero rebel votes. However, his parliamentary attendance is notably low at 6%, well below the SNP average of 36%. In policy, he generally backs welfare and rights measures—Universal Credit, workers’ rights protections and trade union powers—and supports transgender rights and mental health services, while voting against VAT changes and against harsher prison sentencing. His votes on bus services regulation are mixed, and he has not voted on renter protections.
