MP for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough
“A loyal Labour MP with ministerial experience who has occasionally rebelled on end‑of‑life legislation and a public-vote issue.”
Justin Madders is Labour (Co-op) MP for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough, first elected in 2015. He currently serves on the Business and Trade Committee and the Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls, having previously held government and shadow roles, including a period as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (2024–2025). Throughout his parliamentary career he has occupied roles focused on employment rights and health.
Madders shows 100% party loyalty and 78% voting attendance (well above his party’s average 33%). He has eight recorded rebel votes. He sits on the centre-left of the Labour spectrum and tends to support NHS funding and bus services regulation, while opposing stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. His votes on Universal Credit, VAT, transgender rights, trade union powers and prison sentencing are mixed rather than consistently for or against.
Declared financial interests include three items: two miscellaneous entries and one entry relating to visits outside the UK.
