MP for Liverpool West Derby
“A largely party-loyal Labour backbencher who has occasionally rebelled on welfare and public-order issues.”
Ian Byrne is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Liverpool West Derby, first elected in 2019. He currently sits on the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill committee and has previously served on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, giving him broad parliamentary committee experience.
His voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%) and attendance above the party average (47%). He has a centre-left stance (37/100). On key topics, he generally votes against tighter immigration controls and stricter asylum measures, while supporting NHS funding; his record on welfare, VAT and labour-market issues is more mixed. Notably, he has had several rebel votes against his party on welfare and public-order matters in 2025–2026.
Declared financial interests include three entries: two miscellaneous items and one entry relating to donations and other support for activities as an MP.
