MP for Stafford
“A highly loyal Labour MP who champions workers' rights and renters' protections, while maintaining very low voting attendance.”
Leigh Ingham is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Stafford, elected in 2024. She currently serves on the Modernisation Committee and on committees linked to the Secure 16 to 19 Academies Bill, and participated in the Speaker's Conference (2024). Her parliamentary career has included roles on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and the Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
She has 100% party loyalty (above the party average of 99%) and a notably low voting attendance of 12% (vs 33% party average), with zero rebel votes. Her record shows strong support for workers' rights and trade unions, and for renter protections, but she generally votes against tighter prison sentencing and stronger bus regulation; her stance on transgender rights and mental health services is more restrictive, with a mixed approach to climate measures.
Declares four financial interests, including miscellaneous entries, donations and other support for activities as an MP, and visits outside the UK.
