MP for Rushcliffe
“A centre-left Labour and Co-op MP for Rushcliffe who is highly party-loyal but has notable rebellions on end-of-life amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults Bill.”
James Naish is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Rushcliffe, elected on 4 July 2024. He currently serves on the International Development Committee (since December 2024) and previously sat on the Football Governance Bill [HL] committee (May–June 2025).

Declares 19 financial interests, including shareholdings, land and property, ongoing paid employment, other earnings, gifts/hospitality from UK sources, and donations or support for MP activities.
