MP for Liverpool Riverside
“A largely party-loyal backbencher who has nonetheless rebelled on several high-profile justice and welfare bills.”
Kim Johnson is the Labour Co-op MP for Liverpool Riverside, first elected in 2019. She sits on multiple Commons committees, including Home Affairs, Education, and Women and Equalities, and has previously served on the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, as well as on committees linked to international relations and human rights work.
She votes with her party 99% of the time and has an attendance rate of 46% (above the party average of 34%). Her voting record covers a wide range of issues with a clear pattern of opposing tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, while supporting protest rights.
She has declared nine financial interests, including four miscellaneous entries, three entries for visits outside the UK, and two entries for gifts, benefits or hospitality from UK sources.
