MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey
Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Energy Security and Net Zero)
“Party-loyal SNP MP for Moray West with a focus on energy and technology policy, notable for very low voting attendance.”
Graham Leadbitter is the SNP MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey, first elected in July 2024. He holds multiple shadow spokesperson roles—Energy Security and Net Zero, Science, Innovation and Technology, and Transport—and serves on the Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Bill committee.
He shows strong party loyalty with 100% voting alignment but a very low attendance rate of 6%. In key votes, he has generally supported Universal Credit, workers’ rights protections, and trade union powers, and has generally backed climate change measures, while generally opposing VAT changes and increases in prison sentences. There are no recorded votes on mental health services or renter protections, and his votes on bus services regulation are mixed; he has a pro-transgender rights record.
Declares two visits outside the UK as financial interests.
