MP for Cheltenham
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Home Affairs)
“A party‑loyal, centre‑right Lib Dem MP who rarely rebels but has backed end‑of‑life provisions against his party line.”
Max Wilkinson is the Liberal Democrat MP for Cheltenham, elected in 2024. He currently serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on Home Affairs and sits on the Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill committee. He has previously held roles including Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Culture, Media and Sport and served on the Administration Committee.
He shows very high party loyalty (99%) and a low voting attendance (13%), with two rebel votes. His voting record places him as centre‑right (61/100). He generally supports Universal Credit, mental health services, prison sentencing, transgender rights and climate measures, while tending to vote against workers’ rights protections, trade union powers and VAT changes, and shows a mixed stance on renter protections.
He has nine declared financial interests: six entries related to gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and three entries related to donations and other support (including loans) for his activities as an MP.
