MP for Cardiff East
Secretary of State for Wales
“A Labour MP with high parliamentary attendance and strong party loyalty who has occasionally rebelled on EU-related issues.”
Jo Stevens is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Cardiff East, first elected in 2015. She has held senior frontbench roles, including Shadow Secretary of State for Wales (2021–2024) and Shadow Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (2020–2021), and she has served on several Commons committees. She has been Secretary of State for Wales since July 2024.
Stevens generally votes with her party and attends Parliament more often than the average MP. She has supported Universal Credit and NHS funding, while opposing stricter immigration controls and the asylum system.
