MP for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough
“A loyal Labour MP with strong attendance who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation and public vote issues.”
Justin Madders is the Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough, first elected in 2015. He currently sits on the Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls (since October 2025) and has held a range of frontbench and government roles, including a spell as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade. Earlier in his career he held several shadow ministerial posts, notably in health, future of work and business and industrial strategy.
His voting record shows strong party loyalty and solid attendance, with a centre-left stance. He generally supports NHS funding and bus services regulation, while opposing tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. On VAT changes, transgender rights and trade union powers, his votes are mixed, with no single consistent position across those issues.
Has three declared financial interests: two miscellaneous entries and one relating to visits outside the UK.
