MP for Easington
“A loyal Labour MP for Easington with high parliamentary attendance who has occasionally rebelled on welfare reform bills, notably around Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment.”
Grahame Morris is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Easington, first elected in 2010. He has served on a wide range of parliamentary committees and bill-related work, including the High Speed Rail (Crewe–Manchester) Bill Select Committee, and has been involved in welfare, transport and public service debates over the last decade.
He is highly loyal to his party and attends a large share of votes (71% attendance, well above the party average). He generally backs NHS funding and welfare-related measures, and opposes tighter immigration controls and Rwanda deportations. His voting on VAT, transgender rights and trade union powers is mixed, reflecting a centre-left stance and selective independence on certain issues, including notable rebellions on welfare legislation.
He has four declared financial interests: two entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; one entry for donations and other support for activities as an MP; and one miscellaneous item.
