MP for Airdrie and Shotts
“A loyal Labour backbencher with unusually low attendance who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life amendments.”
Kenneth Stevenson is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Airdrie and Shotts, elected in July 2024. He serves on the House of Commons Procedure Committee (since December 2025) and previously sat on the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill committee in early 2025. His voting record shows a focus on workers' rights and renters' protections.
His party loyalty is very high (99%), but his voting attendance is markedly low at 14% against a party average of 34%, and he has three rebel votes. He sits on the left of the political spectrum (26/100). On policy, he generally backs workers’ rights protections, trade union powers and renter protections, while often opposing bus services regulation, prison sentencing and transgender rights, with mixed voting on Universal Credit and mental health services, and consistent support for VAT changes.
Declares land and property interests (three entries) and one gift, benefit or hospitality from UK sources.
