MP for North East Derbyshire
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)
“A party‑loyal Labour MP and Defence minister who attends far fewer votes than the average MP.”
Louise Sandher-Jones is a Labour (Co-op) MP for North East Derbyshire, elected in 2024. She serves as Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Defence (since September 2025) and has sat on committees examining crime, policing and terrorism legislation, as well as licensing and football-related bills during her parliamentary career.
She votes consistently with her party (100% loyalty) and has a record of supporting workers’ rights and trade union powers, as well as renter protections. She has often voted against expanding mental health services, against certain prison sentencing measures and against transgender rights, with a mixed approach on climate policies.
