MP for Liverpool Riverside
“A centre-left Labour MP with strong party loyalty who has occasionally rebelled on welfare and immigration-related issues.”
Kim Johnson is Labour (Co‑op) MP for Liverpool Riverside, first elected in December 2019. She has held multiple parliamentary committee roles since 2020, including on Home Affairs, Education and Women and Equalities, and has served on the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art. Her parliamentary experience also includes involvement with international and arts-related parliamentary work.
She sits centre-left (35/100) and has very high party loyalty (99%) with attendance above the party average (45% vs 33%), yet has recorded nine rebel votes. Her voting on key topics is mixed: she has opposed tighter immigration controls and the asylum system, while generally supporting NHS funding and showing a varied stance on welfare-related measures such as Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment.
Seven declared financial interests: four miscellaneous entries and three visits outside the UK.
