MP for Easington
“A loyal, centre-left Labour MP with high attendance who has occasionally rebelled on welfare reform.”
Grahame Morris is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Easington, first elected in 2010. As a backbench MP, he has sat on a wide range of parliamentary committees, including the High Speed Rail (Crewe–Manchester) Bill Select Committee and numerous infrastructure- and regulation-focused bills, reflecting a long-standing interest in transport and regulation.
He votes with his party most of the time (party loyalty 99%) and attends Parliament more than many peers (71%). He has 22 rebel votes to his party. On policy, he generally supports Universal Credit and NHS funding, opposes stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, and shows a mixed pattern on VAT, transgender rights and trade union powers.
Has declared four 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 entry.
