MP for Edmonton and Winchmore Hill
“A loyal Labour backbencher with a strong international development focus who has occasionally rebelled on major policy votes.”
Kate Osamor is Labour and Co-operative MP for Edmonton and Winchmore Hill, first elected in 2015. She has focused on international development and public accountability, serving on the Public Accounts Committee and several international committees, and she previously served as Shadow Secretary of State for International Development (2016–2018). She is known for strong party loyalty in voting, with a record of occasional rebellions on major policy votes.
She votes with her party on all votes (100% loyalty) and attends a higher-than-average share of votes (67% attendance, party average 33%). She sits on the centre-left of the spectrum (39/100). Her voting shows support for NHS funding and bus services regulation, and a tendency to vote against stricter immigration controls and transgender rights, with a mixed record on asylum, prisons, and the Rwanda deportation scheme.
