MP for Ipswich
“A highly loyal Labour (Co-op) MP for Ipswich with a centre-left footing, notable for a rare rebel vote on an end-of-life bill.”
Jack Abbott is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Ipswich, first elected in 2024. He has served on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill committee (Jan 2025 to Mar 2025) and the Backbench Business Committee (Oct 2024 to Mar 2025), reflecting his role as a backbench MP with involvement in private member’s business. His voting profile shows strong party loyalty and a centre-left stance.
Abbott votes with his party 100% of the time (above the Labour average), but his attendance is relatively low at 17%. He has one recorded rebel vote. In policy terms, he generally supports workers’ rights and trade union powers, and renter protections, while voting against stricter prison sentencing, against tighter regulation of bus services, and against transgender rights. His votes on Universal Credit, mental health services, climate change measures, and VAT show a mix of positions.
He has six declared financial interests: four entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; one entry for a family member engaged in third-party lobbying; and one entry related to land or property holdings.
