MP for Isle of Wight East
“A party-loyal Conservative MP for Isle of Wight East who rarely rebels but has unusually low Commons attendance.”
Joe Robertson is the Conservative MP for Isle of Wight East, elected in July 2024. He currently sits on the Health and Social Care Committee and on several other committees, including the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL] Committee and the Court of Referees, and he also serves on the Courts and Tribunals Bill committee. Since his election, he has sat on committees for a range of Bills, including Railways Bill, Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill, Football Governance Bill [HL], Crime and Policing Bill, and Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL].
He votes with his party on all recorded divisions (100% party loyalty) but attends only a fraction of votes (16%). On policy topics, he generally opposes workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, bus services regulation, mental health services and VAT changes, while he generally supports transgender rights and a publicly owned railway. There is one notable rebel vote: he voted AYE on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill (Second Reading) on 26 November 2024, against the party line.
Declared four financial interests. They include donations and other support (including loans) for activities as an MP; employment and earnings, including ongoing paid employment; and gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
