MP for Darlington
“A party-loyal Labour MP for Darlington with notably low voting attendance and two rebel votes on end‑of‑life amendments.”
Lola McEvoy is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Darlington, elected in July 2024. She sits on the Treasury Committee (2024–2025) and was a member of the Renters’ Rights Bill committee in late 2024, reflecting a focus on financial scrutiny and housing policy.
Her voting loyalty is high (99%), but attendance is notably low (16%) compared with the party average (33%). She has two rebel votes against her party on End‑of‑Life amendments in 2025. In policy terms, she generally supports workers’ rights and trade unions and renter protections, backs VAT changes, and tends to vote against measures on prison sentencing, transgender rights, and mental health services, with climate votes being mixed.
