MP for Sheffield Heeley
“A party-loyal Labour frontbencher with no rebel votes and a prominent transport portfolio.”
Louise Haigh is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Sheffield Heeley, first elected in 2015. She has held senior frontbench roles, notably as Shadow Secretary of State for Transport (2021–2024) and briefly as Secretary of State for Transport in 2024, with a background in transport alongside work on Northern Ireland affairs, policing, culture and the digital economy.
Haigh shows very high party loyalty, voting with Labour 100% of the time and recording no rebel votes, with attendance above the party average. On policy issues she generally backs NHS funding and bus services regulation, while generally opposing immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. Her votes on Universal Credit, VAT, transgender rights and trade union powers are mixed.
Declared financial interests include two entries under Employment and earnings—one for standard earnings and one for ad hoc payments.
