MP for Livingston
Assistant Whip
“A party‑loyal Labour MP and assistant whip who votes with his party but has unusually low parliamentary attendance.”
Gregor Poynton is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Livingston, elected in 2024. He currently serves as an Assistant Whip and has served on several business and trade committees since entering Parliament.
He shows 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, yet his attendance is only 15%—well below the party average of 33%. His voting record generally aligns with Labour on workers’ rights and trade union powers, renter protections and transgender rights, while he has opposed harsher prison sentencing and taken a mixed approach on climate change measures.
Declared financial interests include four entries for donations and other support for activities as an MP, one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one miscellaneous entry.
