MP for Glasgow East
“A party-loyal Labour (Co-op) MP for Glasgow East who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
John Grady is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Glasgow East, elected in July 2024. He serves on the Treasury Committee and sits on committees for the Space Industry (Indemnities) Bill and the Controlled Drugs (Procedure for Specification) Bill, established in 2025. He has previously served on several parliamentary committees, including the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, and on committees related to the Pension Schemes Bill, Planning and Infrastructure Bill, and Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill [HL].
His party loyalty is very high at 98% (just below the party average of 99%), but his voting attendance is low at 17% (below the 34% party average). He sits on the centre-left of the spectrum (37/100). In voting on policy issues, he generally backs workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, and renter protections, and supports regulation of bus services; he tends to vote against transgender rights and against prison sentencing, with mixed positions on universal credit, protest rights, mental health services and VAT changes.
The MP has five declared financial interests, including ad hoc payments related to employment, other employment earnings, miscellaneous interests, and visits outside the UK.
